In reply to Hendofan:
Hi, I was up the Gran Paradiso last Tuesday.
Conditions are good. It was all dry up to the glacier, and the glacier was well enough covered to be traversed very easily. Obviously there are come crevasses, but we didnt see any that would be of any worry at all. There was actually quite a crowd on top and a one way system in place for getting to the summit: traverse along to the back end and up the back and come back down the front.
The top is a bit airy, but there are good handholds and some nuts and ladders in place for security.
Irt camping/hut: just give the hut a call and you should be sorted. We actually bivyed as suggested above about 20-30 minutes beyond the hut. There are many excellent locations there and it was a great experience. The only thing was the continuous head-torches shining around from about 3/4 AM onwards, while we had planned a 6 AM departure.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
Once I work out if and how to share photos on here, I will post a couple to give you an idea
