Monte Rosa Summit Tour

The mighty Monte Rosa massif is situated on the southern edge of the Alps. It has a high concentration of 4000m peaks, many of them on many a mountaineer’s tick list, amongst them the Dufourspitze, which at 4634m is the highest point of the Swiss Alps. We recommend a couple of days hiking in the area before you start on this trip to help with your acclimatization.

Huts

A mountain hut is not a hotel. Running water is not guaranteed and electricity is not available everywhere, so it is not always possible to charge batteries or phones. If you have special dietary needs, please inform us in advance so we can make arrangements with the hut.
