Description
Description
Known as the “Spaghetti Tour”, this high mountain Monte Rosa expedition moves along the Swiss-Italian border and involves climbing several 4000-meter peaks and traversing high glaciated terrain in a loop.
The tour begins in Zermatt, from where we access the high glaciers via cable car to the Klein Matterhorn. From there, every day we reach new mountaineering heights as we climb different mountains. Additionally, during the trip, we will stay in friendly, hospitable Italian huts along the way, including the spectacularly located Margherita hut, which at 4554 meters is the highest hut in the Western Alps. The loop ends back in Zermatt. You can find a detailed itinerary below.
This mountain climbing program is not technically too demanding, however, you need some prior experience and a good fitness level to join. Furthermore, this is a great program to advance your skills and give you confidence for harder and higher ascents in the future. I will make sure you are safe, having a great time, and gaining more and better understanding of the mountains.
Would you like to take part in this spectacular mountaineering experience on the Monte Rosa massif? Then contact me now and I will be happy to start planning an unforgettable Spaghetti Tour with you.
Or, join me on one of the other programs I offer in the Alps, such as this Mont Blanc training and ascent.

Mountain Guide
I am an IFMGA mountain guide living in Cyprus. I have a passion for exploring the mountains since I was child. Kyperounda, the town where I was born and raised, was my first playground, the place where I started practising different outdoor activities.
First I learnt skiing. Then, I started training and taking part in races and competitions, traveling extensively in Europe. As I am very curious, I kept trying all kinds of sports until I discovered climbing and all its exciting possibilities.
I also developed both my academic and my practical skills in the university, where I studied Outdoor Studies and Sport Science. During that time, I obtained qualifications as a Mountain Leader and a Climber.
Teaching other people is one of the things I like the most. I find a deep joy in helping others to enjoy the mountains as much as I do.
The experience of all these years as well as my technical skills, have taken me closer to my goal: becoming an IFMGA mountain guide.

It was a lot of fun the visibility wasn't that great but there was a lot of snow from recent storm.

Kyriakos was fantastic. Without a knowledgable guide, this is a dangerous trip. Felt very safe with Kyriakos. He also found us totally untracked snow on a busy day. Nice person and very knowledgable. Explore Share was good too, but I gave them 3 stars because I found their site and messaging system clunky. It would also be nice if they offered an option to include all the gear. We had to rent everything before hand.

We had a bluebird day to ski Vallee Blanche. Unfortunately, not a lot of fresh snow but still an absolutely stunning area to explore! Would have liked a bit more time to take photos and ‘take it all in’ because the valley is absolutely stunning. There were a few times we felt a bit rushed, but other than that it was a very positive experience.

Kyros was amazing as a guide. We did not get to do Vallee Blanche due to Aiguille Du Midi not opening however found an amazing alternative. Highly recommend.
