SUMMARY:Tour du Monte Rosa - High alpine glacier hike 2026
DESCRIPTION:[vc_section el_id=”Översikt”][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nThe Tour du Monte Rosa is a high alpine hiking adventure across glaciers and up to 4\,000-meter peaks. During this journey through the mountains of Switzerland and Italy\, together with your IFMGA-certified guide\, we aim to summit no fewer than six 4\,000-meter peaks. You’ll be rewarded with truly breathtaking views and an extraordinary adventure unlike any other. \nThis is high-altitude hiking on glaciers\, but without technical climbing. It’s exciting\, at times steep and a bit exposed\, yet never too extreme—just the right level of challenge. You don’t need prior glacier or climbing experience for this trip; good fitness and balance are enough. \nThe Tour du Monte Rosa is sometimes called the “Spaghetti Tour.” You may also hear the Tour du Matterhorn referred to as the Tour du Monte Rosa\, but on our journey\, you’ll travel both around and across the entire Monte Rosa massif! \n[/vc_column_text]\n	\n		\n\n\n			\n	\n\n[vc_column_text css=””]Dates: July 6–11\, 2026 (6 days)Participants: Minimum 2 / Maximum 3Guide-to-Client Ratio: 1:3Start: ZermattAccommodation: Mountain hutsPrice: €1\,890[/vc_column_text]\n		\n		Book here\n		Book here\n							\n			\n		\n					\n	[/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section el_id=”Innehall”][vc_row][vc_column]Content[vc_column_text css=””] \nThe Tour du Monte Rosa is a high alpine trekking adventure through Switzerland and Italy\, where we aim to summit no less than six 4\,000-meter peaks.
