Description
The Monte Rosa massif in the Swiss Alps has an incredible collection of peaks. And for 6 days, I would like to guide you to no less than 13 incredible summits. Each summit offers its own experience and set of views of the Alps. Moreover, all of these summits are part of the 82, 4000 meter plus summits in the Alps.
Beginning in Zermatt, our expedition will begin. Every day will see you venturing to different summits. The list of summits you will get to visit during this trip include Northrend (4609m), the Zumstein peak (4563m), the Signal group (4553m), the Liskamm east summit (4533m) and west summit (4479m). You will also climb to the summit of Castor (4223m), the Breithorn West summit (4164m) and Central Summit (4156m), the Western Breithorn twin (4139m), the Eastern Breithorn twin (4106m), Pollux (4092m), the Roccia Nera (4075m) and Dufourspitze (4,634m).
Along with the long list of summits you will get to climb to, you will also be staying in different mountains huts as well, including the highest mountain hut in the Alps: the famous Margherita hut (4,559m). All of the huts offer a comfortable place to rest and relax, and also will give you even more great views of the Monte Rosa massif and the Alps.
We will be exploring the quiet side of the Monte Rosa massif during this trip. However, despite the lack of crowds, the climbs are still challenging. As a result you should have prior climbing experience. And because we will be climbing for approximately 8 hours a day, ascending approximately 1,400 meters per day, you should also be in good physical condition.
If you would like to explore the amazing Monte Rosa massif, this is the trip for you. To join me on this 1:1 adventure, just send me a request.
I also offer a 5 day trip in Valais where you can climb 3 summits: Weisshorn, Dent Blanche and Bishorn.

What people are saying about E-S Adventure Guides
Rob
Rachel
We had a great time bouldering with Léo who was really enthusiastic and encouraging, and who selected a good range of boulders to suit our different strengths whilst still being challenging. Would definitely recommend this as a great way to get introduced to outdoor bouldering at Fontainebleau.
Ruth
Willy was a brilliant instructor and guide. He took us on the Pont a Lesse beginners via ferrata, then onto a slightly harder section, and finally a short top-roped climb. We climbed with our 10 and 12 year olds and he was brilliant and making sure they followed all the safety rules, gave them good advice and on a particularly tricky vertical section, used a top rope for extra security. He was really encouraging and great company. He communicated well beforehand and his English was excellent. He also used to be a photographer before he became a climbing instructor, and he took some fabulous photos which he shared with us afterwards. We had a fantastic time and I would definitely recommend going on a trip with him.
Denis
Willy est un très bon guide. Il nous a conseillé une via ferrata plus compliquée et mieux adaptée à notre niveau avant le départ, ce qui était bien vu de sa part. Il nous a guidé sans nous tenir par la main afin de nous laisser notre autonomie et a prit plein de photos de notre ascension.
Oak
Ivan was aan excellent guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, very friendly and approachable. He tailored the day to our experience and gave us loads of great tips to increase our enjoyment and improve our skills. I would highly recommend a day's bouldering with Ivan.
