Ski crossing Monte Rosa with easy 4000 metre peaks
This ski traverse is unrivalled. From the south side of the Monte Rosa massif across to the north side, up easy 4000 metre peaks and through breathtaking glacier descents - from Alagna to Zermatt past the Margheritta hut.
We meet in Domodossola and travel by taxi to Alagna. We spend an evening together in this authentic mountain village and get to know each other.
The next day we use the mountain railway to Pianalunga at 3400m, from where the first ski tour takes us to the first 4000m peak - Punta Giordani. During the direct descent to the Mantova hut, we enjoy the spring snow and the breathtaking view over the Po Valley from Lake Maggiore to the Grand Paradiso.
On the third day we climb four 4000 metre peaks. The Vincent Pyramid 4215m, the Balmenhorn 4167m, the Ludwigshöhe 4341m and the Parrotspitze 4432m - an eventful and varied day with a wonderful descent to the Gnifetti hut.
During the last day we climb up to the Signalkuppe and visit the highest hut in Europe. The Margherita Hut is named after the former Queen of Italy - Regina Margherita. We will tell you some of the history and make the ascent to 4554m comfortable and adapted to all participants. From the Signalkuppe we descend the Grenzgletscher in the direction of Zermatt, another very special descent. The hanging glaciers of the Liskamm and the Dufourspitze are unique in the Alps, as is skiing next to them!
