Monte Rosa High Tour

Some info...

This dreamlike spaghetti tour over the highest mountains of the Monte Rosa massif is certainly hard to beat! With your BERIE guide you hike over mighty glacier streams and climb up to ten 4000-metre peaks. You sleep at very high altitude huts always far above 3000 metres and enjoy the delicacies of Italian cuisine with pasta, minestrone and espresso. Due to the high sleeping altitude, good acclimatisation is very important, so your guide adapts the pace to the enormous altitude and is deliberately leisurely on the way.

The advantage: we don't have to descend into the valley again, we always stay close to the summits. The route is not technically difficult, but there are always short, exposed passages that require full concentration. Constantly changing views of almost all 4000m peaks in the Alps provide excitement and reward. In the distance we can see the lakes in Ticino and Northern Italy, look at the rice fields of the Po Valley. The highest peaks of the Alps, from the Bernese Oberland to the Montblanc, gleam brightly white and majestically in contrast! Certainly a highlight: the overnight stay on the Capanna Regina Margherita (4554 m) on the summit of the Signalkuppe above the Monte Rosa east wall...

A summer fairy tale you should not miss!

Relax after the tour in one of our partner hotels in Zermatt to round off this great tour with pleasure. We will be happy to advise you!

Are you up to the Spaghetti Tour? Your requirements...

The euphonious name "Spaghetti Tour" sounds like a vacation in the south and does not quite capture the character of this medium-difficulty, high-alpine mountaineering tour in one of the highest glacier areas in the Alps. Important is a very good condition for these tours of several hours with the high sleeping altitudes, always far above 3000 meters. As the highest goal we head towards the end of the tour the magical Cabana Margherita! You can only enjoy the indescribable view from up there if you are well acclimatized. Therefore, we recommend to spend a few days on hikes around Zermatt before the tour to be already pre-acclimatized.

Almost all the time we are on glacier fields, we rope mostly directly at the hut and then enter the glacier. Narrow ridge passages there are mainly around the Castor and climbing passages up to the 2nd degree are waiting for us at Naso de Lys.

Specifically, you need some practice with the crampons. For this we offer the BERIE beginner tours to train these skills. On the beginner tour you will learn the most important basics. Accompanied by our professional mountain guide.

This tour can not be compared with a normal or simple hike. Don't worry, you are in the best hands with us! The guide will continuously adjust the pace and pay attention to you. Of course, you will be secured on every stage. Enjoy the Spaghetti Tour with all its facets!
