Monte Rosa Tour: Climb, Learn and Discover the High Mountains

Meeting in Cervinia and ascent to Teodulo Hut, a cozy mountain refuge with an incredible landscape of the Matterhorn, we will work on crampon techniques to learn how to move better and safer on ice and snow and create a solid foundation for all our next experiences.

We will climb the Western Breithorn, a 4165m peak on the border between Switzerland and
Italy, which will give us a breathtaking view of Zermatt and all the surrounding mountains. As soon as we get off we will move to Gressoney.

We will take advantage of the "low altitude" and the adaptation of our bodies by resting
actively. We will review knots and mountaineering maneuvers and then traverse through a via ferrata.

We will use the afternoon for a yoga session with mindfulness and mental preparation for the ascent of the following days together with coach Beatrice.

We will go up to the Mantova hut where we will master the techniques of rope binding and progression on the glacier as well as crevasse rescue maneuvers.

We will leave before dawn for the ascent to the highest refuge in Europe, Capanna Margherita hut; a bold structure built in 1983, which is set at an altitude of 4554 mt.

After a short break we will descend and climb the surrounding peaks like Zumstein 4563 mt and Parrotspitze 4432 mt.

In the afternoon, we will arrive at Gnifetti hut, a beautiful wooden mountain hut built on the top of a rocky ridge where you can really feel the mountaineering atmosphere.

We will start from the Gnifetti hut and if the conditions of the group and the mountain allow, we will climb other peaks in the massif such as Balmenhorn, and Pyramid Vincent or Punta Giordani.

After the climb, we will descend down to Punta Indren and down to Staffal.
