Background

• The finest walk in Europe
• Around Switzerland's highest peak
• 'Chocolate box' Swiss Alps scenery

This extremely pretty tour of Monte Rosa is less well known than some of the other classic long walks of the Alps. It provides a challenge to the fit hill walker, and an opportunity to get close to some of the greatest scenery in the Alps, including the Matterhorn, the Breithorn, the Weisshorn and the Dufourspitze, at 4634m the second highest summit of the Alpine Massif. Your baggage is transferred from hotel to hotel enabling you to carry just a backpack with essentials and of course your camera most of the time.

We start and finish in the delightful mountain town of Zermatt from where we trace a clockwise route around the range, visiting Italy for several nights on the way. The walking route takes you across numerous spectacular passes on trails that keep you close to the mountains. We stay in a combination of mountain refuges and small hotels, each with its own speciality regional cooking and hospitality which for many people provide one of the highlights of the holiday.

Why not extend your stay in Zermat, after your trek? Contact us to discuss options.
