Monte Rosa lies on the border between Switzerland and Italy and is one of the best kept secrets in the Alps. The highest peak of the range is the Dufourspitze (4634 m) which is the highlight of four peaks you climb on this stunning mountain adventure. Speak to any mountaineer whose taken this trip and they'll tell you how truly special it is.
Nestled within the Monte Rosa massif are 17 recognised peaks with 12 that are over 4000m, the highest being the Dufourspitze (4634m). Over the course of 6 days you will climb some great peaks such as the Breithorn (4164m), Riffelhorn (2928m) and Castor (4428m) to help with acclimatising and training for the Dufourspitze. Yep... you can tick off a ton of peaks in this one adventure.
Nestled along the boarders of Switzerland and Italy you'll notice the culture changes from one country to the next. The trip has been built so you get as much mountain time as possible while staying in some memorable accommodation. The experience in each mountain hut and valley lodge is so unique it really ads to the flavour of this trip.
Get in to the high mountains for the first time, learn new alpine skills and climb some epic peaks in a stunningly beautiful location. What's not to like?
