Come with me on this 7-day Monte Rosa ski traverse in the beautiful Swiss Alps!

Located in the Saas Region, in Switzerland, the Monte Rosa ski traverse has become very popular among skiers from all over the world, not only because of its spectacular glacier route, but also because of the variety of landscapes, the accessibility and the number of mountain huts that we can find in this area.

During this seven-day adventure participants will be skiing amazing peaks like Mount Breithorn (4165 meters), Piramide Vincent (4270 mt) as well as the Felik glacier and Lyskamm Glacier. We will be sleeping in the different huts we will find along the way. Every day we will have a different itinerary and I will be happy to safely guide you around this Swiss winter paradise!

This seven-day adventure is suitable for experienced skiers who are ready for a new challenge. So request to book this trip if you want to live a great adventure in the Swiss Alps!

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
