Our skitour adventure kicks off in Marmora with a gentle 900-1200m climb, a perfect start to acclimate to the majesty of the mountains. Later, we'll hit the road and find rest in charming Canosio, ready for the challenges ahead.
Day two brings a challenging full traverse from Canosio, featuring a rewarding climb followed by a thrilling descent on a new path, ultimately leading us to Chialvetta where we'll settle in for the night.

On our fourth and final day, we offer three distinct traverse options ranging from 1100 to 1400 meters of vertical ascent, catering to everyone from powder newbies to seasoned veterans.

We had a fantastic time on the Monte Rosa Tour and couldn’t recommend the team and trip highly enough. The tour was extremely well planned to ensure we had the best chance of achieving our goals whilst having a great time, thanks to a perfect mix of climbing and learning whilst giving our bodies a chance to adapt/ acclimatise and rest. Each day was varied and exciting and our guides were extremely knowledgeable, safe and great fun to spend a week with. The course was perfectly tailored to the teams skill level and allowed us all to have a brilliant time. Can’t thank Enrico, Marco and Francesco enough. Cheers guys
