Highlights
The special thing about this tour is being out and about for several days in the midst of the mighty high mountains. Impressive ascents, breathtaking descents and encounters with several 4000 metre peaks await you on the rugged glaciers of the Monte Rosa massif. Travelling from hut to hut is a unique experience - high alpine, varied and with magnificent views. Even in late spring, the conditions at this altitude are usually excellent. There is always fresh snow and skiing in early summer is simply a pleasure - much more pleasant on skis than on foot ;)
Tour
The Spaghetti Tour is one of the most impressive ski mountaineering weeks in the Alps. In five days, the route leads along the Swiss-Italian border through the heart of the Monte Rosa massif. The route takes you over mighty glaciers, past several four-thousand-metre peaks and into an impressive high mountain ambience. You start in Zermatt, from where the tour leads over high alpine crossings and peaks to the Italian side. Overnight stays are in cosy huts on the Italian side, with fine cuisine, „Primi“ and „Secondi“, which give the tour its name. Thanks to the railway infrastructure, we start on the first day with the small Matterhorn railway at 3500m and on the last day we take the cable car from Punta Indren back down to the valley - so we are always in the snow! This tour is an alpine highlight for experienced ski tourers who want to experience the high mountains in all their diversity. Technically demanding, scenically overwhelming and a culinary delight.
Meeting point and procedure
The meeting point is at 9.15 am right next to Zermatt railway station. The meeting point is easily accessible by public transport. If you are travelling by car, it is best to park it in Visp, as we will travel back to Visp via Domodossola at the end of the tour.
