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.

Super ! Nous avons passé une excellente après-midi avec Willy ! Nous avons eu des conseils et des recommandations pour pouvoir continuer la pratique de via ferrata. Je recommande vivement cette expérience

We had a very exciting day with Willy! We had never done a via ferrata before and did Pont-a-Lesse and Marche-les-Dames in one day. Willy explained the different techniques very well and adapted to our wishes and the circumstances perfectly. Gauthier adviced us in the beginning correctly that Marche-les-Dames would be better for us than Les-Grandes-Malades in terms of difficulty. Overall we were very happy with the choice, spend a great day outdoors and can definitely recommend this adventure!

We had a really fantastic day of bouldering in Fontainebleau with our guide Ivan. He is very experienced and knows the region well. He showed us great boulders and routes that we would not have found on our own, and kept a good pace to keep us going for the full six hours.
