Tour de Monte Rosa

The Monte Rosa massif is one of the most magnificent in the Alps, with 10 peaks rising above 4,000 meters. The 9-day Tour de Monte Rosa walk around the mountain is widely regarded as one of the top hiking routes in the Alps. The trip offers an incredible blend of breathtaking alpine scenery across two major European countries.

The Tour de Monte Rosa is a superb alternative to the Tour du Mont Blanc, offering peaceful mountain passes, verdant valleys filled with wooden Swiss Chalets, and the tranquillity of secluded Italian mountain communities in the final sections of the walk. However, while being one of the most gorgeous treks in the Alps, the path is hard, notably the 3,295m high Theodul Pass crossing!

The majority of hikers begin their journey at Täsh, Switzerland, heading anti-clockwise. The incredibly magnificent Monte Rosa is located on the border between Switzerland and Italy, close to the east of the Matterhorn. The Tour de Monte Rosa is an excellent opportunity to explore the many valleys of both nations. The round trek will take you through extremely glaciated areas, provide numerous stunning views of Switzerland's highest peaks, and take you through some of the highest mountain passes in the Alps. The journey will take you via well-known cities like as Zermatt, Aosta, and Saas Fee, as well as the legendary Europaweg.
