Description

This classic tour takes 2 days and gets to the heart of Monte Rosa, in the Pennine Alps.

You can’t miss these unforgettable days skiing the mountains of Monte Rosa area!

The price includes booking service for the hotel in Zermatt and special renting prices for Ski equipment, ABS backpack and safety equipment (avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel).

Level: you will need to be a safe off-piste skiier in all conditions, and fit enough to cope climbing up to 1200 vertical meter a day.

Snow conditions: Thanks to the altitude of the area and the frequent weather influence from the south, the Monte Rosa massif is expecting the whole winter heavy snowfalls. From December to mid-March you can find here mostly powder conditions. Thanks to the altitude we can ski spring snow till early May.
