Monte Rosa and Breithorn climbing traverse

I invite you to a 5-day classical high mountain traverse in the Western Alps, through vast glaciers and peaks over 4000 m, like Monte Rosa and Breithorn. 

This trip begins in Zermatt, a town in Swiss known for its wonderful views of Monte Cervino or Matterhorn, the most emblematic mountain in the country.

Once there, the highest cable car in Europe takes us to the top of Klein Matterhorn, at 3883 m. This mountain is part of the Breithorn massif.

Then we begin our trek through the Italian side. We will go from hut to hut until we reach the highest hut of Europe: Capanna Marherita (4550 m). This hut is in one of Monte Rosa summits.

Finally, the tour ends at the Swiss side, back in the town of Zermatt.

This itinerary is a serious trek over glaciated terrain. Because of that, you will need proper glaciar equipment, as well as skills and knowledge about glaciar traverses (crevasse rescue etc.), in order to make a safe trek.

The best time for doing this activity is July, when the climbing routes are technically easier.

For further information about this trip, you can find the complete program below.

Feel free to get in touch with me if you want more information about this mountaineering traverse. I'll be glad to help you and be your guide up there!
