  • Day 1

    approx. 20 minutes on foot from the mountain station

    We take the railway together to the Trockener Steg mountain station. The railway makes the ascent to the Gandegghütte easier.

    We take the railway up to the Klein Matterhorn and make the tour to the Breithorn (4164 m). From there we enjoy the view from our first 4000 metre peak. We then descend to the Rifugio Guide d`Ayas, where we spend the night.

  • Day 3

    800 metres altitude

    Today we cross the southern valleys of Monte Rosa. We descend to Vèraz. We climb over pathless terrain to Colle Bettaforca. From there, the cable car takes us comfortably to the Passo dei Salati. A short ascent takes us directly to the Rifugio Città di Mantova, surrounded by the glacier of the Monte Rosa massif.

  • Day 4

    1200 metres altitude

    5-6h

    This day will inspire you with the ascent of various 4000 metre peaks around the highest hut in the Alps: Vincentpyramide 4341m, Ludwigshöhe 4343m and Signalkuppe, on which the highest hut in the Alps is also located, the Capanna Regina Margherita 4554m, where we will also spend the night.

    approx. 2 pm Rotenboden

    Our final day may take us to the Zumsteinspitze (4563 m), "just" above the hut, before we descend via the impressive Grenzgletscher to the Monte Rosa Hütte (2798 m). A via ferrata and the glacier take us to the Gornergrat railway on the Rotenboden. We take the railway back to Zermatt together.
