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: June 17-22\, 2027 (6 days)Participants: Minimum 2 / Maximum 3Guide-to-Client Ratio: 1:3Start: ChamonixAccommodation: 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.

You arrive in Chamonix and check in at a hotel of your choice\, which you book independently. In the evening\, the group meets with the mountain guide for a briefing and to go through the plan for the coming days. \nThere is also time to rent or purchase any equipment you may need. Harness\, helmet\, carabiners\, crampons\, and ice axe are included and can be borrowed from us. \nDay 2 \nAfter breakfast\, you meet your mountain guide and the adventure begins! We leave Chamonix and drive to Italy. From there\, we take a lift up into the mountains and continue on foot towards Sella Hut\, where we spend our first night at altitude. \nAccommodation in a mountain hut with breakfast and dinner. \nHiking: approx. 6 hours\nDistance: 9 km\nAscent: 650 m\nDescent: 650 m \nDay 3 \nWe leave Sella Hut early and head out onto the glacier. Today’s route takes us across Naso del Lyskamm at 4\,272 metres\, with impressive views of Lyskamm East and West. During the day\, we also climb Vincent Pyramid at 4\,215 metres before continuing to Gnifetti Hut\, where we spend the night. \nAccommodation in a mountain hut with breakfast and dinner. \nHiking: approx. 6 hours\nDistance: 10 km\nAscent: 900 m\nDescent: 900 m \nDay 4 \nToday brings one of the highlights of the trip. We continue our glacier journey towards Margherita Hut at 4\,554 metres – the highest mountain hut in the Alps. \nAlong the way\, we climb several 4\,000-metre peaks\, including Schwarzhorn\, Balmenhorn\, Ludwigshöhe\, and Signalkuppe. A spectacular day at high altitude with fantastic views across the Monte Rosa massif. \nAccommodation at Margherita Hut with breakfast and dinner. \nHiking: approx. 6–7 hours\nDistance: 9 km\nAscent: 1\,100 m\nDescent: 1\,100 m \nDay 5 \nWe leave Margherita Hut and head back onto the glacier. Today’s goal is Zumsteinspitze at 4\,563 metres\, our final 4\,000-metre peak of the trip. \nWe then continue down across the glacier towards the lift. It will be a long and rewarding day in the mountains before we make our way back to Chamonix. Once there\, you check in at your hotel and can enjoy a well-deserved evening. \nYou will probably feel it in your legs after several days at high altitude and today’s long descent! \nHiking: approx. 8 hours\nDistance: 11 km\nAscent: 700 m\nDescent: 2\,200 m \nDay 6 \nDeparture day. You check out of your hotel and continue your journey independently.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_row section_type=”fullwidth”][vc_column]\n	\n		\n\n\n			\n	\n\n[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_section el_id=”Forkunskaper”][vc_row][vc_column]Prerequisites[vc_column_text css=””] \nYou don’t need any previous glacier or climbing experience to join this trip\, but it’s important that you have very good physical fitness and are comfortable with multiple days of continuous ascent and descent while carrying a daypack. Some sections are a bit exposed\, so it helps if you’re not afraid of heights and have good balance. \nNo prior climbing experience is required — our guides will teach you everything you need to know on site. \nIf you’d like more information\, feel free to contact us at: info@topotravel.se \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section el_id=”Bokningsvillkor”][vc_row][vc_column]Trip information[vc_column_text css=””] \nIncluded \n\n\nIFMGA-certified mountain guide for four days \n\n\nGlacier trekking + summit attempts on six 4\,000-meter peaks \n\n\nRental of crampons\, helmet\, ice axe\, and harness \n\n\nAccommodation in mountain huts for three nights with breakfast and three-course dinner \n\n\nHiking through spectacular alpine landscapes \n\n\nCable cars during the trek \n\n\nTrain ride from Rotenboden down to Zermatt \n\n\n16-week training program \n\n\nNot included \n\n\nTravel to and from Chamonix \n\n\nHotel accommodation in Chamonix \n\n\nTravel insurance \n\n\nPersonal equipment (see packing list) \n\n\nLunches in the mountains and meals in Zermatt (packed lunches available for purchase in the huts) \n\n\nDrinks \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_row section_type=”fullwidth”][vc_column]\n	\n		\n\n\n			\n	\n\n[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_section el_id=”Praktisk-info”][vc_row][vc_column]Practical information[vc_column_text css=””] \nGetting to Chamonix \nChamonix is easy to reach from several international airports. The most convenient option is to fly to Geneva Airport (GVA)\, located approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes from Chamonix. Regular shuttle services run throughout the day\, and we recommend companies such as AlpyBus\, Mountain Drop-offs\, or Chamonix Express. \nSafety & Risk Management \nAll mountain adventures involve risks. Understanding and managing these risks is an important part of the experience. \nOur guides continuously assess risks\, choose appropriate routes\, and adapt the plan according to the weather\, current conditions\, and the group’s ability. \nFor this trip\, the main factors to be aware of are: \n\nRapid weather changes\nHigh altitude and changing weather conditions\nLong days in alpine terrain\n\nOur goal is never to eliminate all risk—that is impossible in a mountain environment. Instead\, we work to identify\, understand\, and manage risks in order to create experiences that are as safe\, rewarding\, and enjoyable as possible. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section el_id=”Packlista”][vc_row][vc_column]Gear list[vc_column_text css=””] \nPacking List \n\n\nAlpine boots (over the ankle) \n\n\nHiking pants \n\n\nBase layer / long-sleeve t-shirt \n\n\nThin hat \n\n\nLight fleece jacket \n\n\nThicker fleece jacket or light down jacket \n\n\nWind- and waterproof jacket (preferably a shell without lining) \n\n\nWind- and waterproof pants (preferably shells without lining) \n\n\nThin gloves \n\n\nThicker gloves \n\n\nBackpack (approx. 35–40 liters) \n\n\nWater bottle or hydration system \n\n\nSunscreen \n\n\nEarplugs (useful in mountain huts) \n\n\nTrekking poles (collapsible\, attachable to backpack) \n\n\nSun hat or cap & sunglasses \n\n\nSnacks \n\n\nSleeping bag liner \n\n\nUnderwear & socks \n\n\nPersonal first aid kit \n\n\nToiletries \n\n\nPhone & charger \n\n\nHeadlamp \n\n\nGaiters \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_row section_type=”fullwidth”][vc_column]\n	\n		\n\n\n			\n	\n\n[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_section el_id=”Boka”][vc_row][vc_column]Booking\n		\n		Book here\n		Book here\n							\n			\n		\n					\n	[/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section el_id=”Bildgalleri”][vc_row][vc_column]Photo Gallery\n	\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n	\n				More\n								\n			\n	\n			\n		\n	\n\n[/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]
