Tour de Monte Rosa – A Classic Alps Hiking Route

Europe , Hikes , Italy , Switzerland

With ten peaks reaching higher than 4,000 meters, the Monte Rosa massif is one of the most impressive in the Alps . It is fair to say that the 9 day Tour de Monte Rosa trek, around the massif, is one of the best hiking routes in Europe .

The hike provides an epic mixture of awesome mountain-scapes across two great European states. 

From hushed mountain passes to green valleys dotted with wooden Swiss Chalets during the first half of the hike, to the tranquility of remote Italian mountain villages during the latter stages of the trek, the Tour de Monte Rosa provides a great alternative to the Tour du Mont Blanc .  

But do be aware, despite being one of the most scenic treks in the Alps, the route is strenuous , particularly the 3,295m high crossing of the Theodul Pass!

Tour de Monte Rosa Overview

The Tour de Monte Rosa is a long, multi-day hiking trail covering a total distance of 162 kilometers and gains more than 13,000 meters of altitude over 8 to 10 stages.

The highest point reached on the hike is 3,295 meters. 

Most people start their hike in Täsh, Switzerland going in an anti-clockwise direction. Resting just to the east of the Matterhorn, the stunningly beautiful Monte Rosa is situated at the border between Switzerland and Italy . 

The Tour de Monte Rosa provides a perfect opportunity to experience the different valleys in both countries. 

On the circular hike you will pass some heavily glaciated areas, be afforded many scenic views of the highest peaks in Switzerland and take on some of the highest mountain passes in the Alps. The route will bring you to famous towns such as  Zermatt, Aosta and Saas Fee, while crossing the notorious Europaweg.

Tour de Monte Rosa Pros & Cons

Here's what we like and dislike about the Monte Rosa hike.

• Incredible views of the Monte Rosa massif and the Matterhorn
• Hike in two countries - Switzerland and Italy!
• Walk the amazing Europaweg between Grächen and Zermatt - this route is  considered by many to be the most beautiful 2-day hike in the Alps
• Spend the night in some of the most famous European mountain huts
• More expensive than standard camping hikes due to the use of mountain huts
• Physically challenging, not for the faint-hearted

Monte Rosa Hike Route Map

This map illustrates the Tour de Monte Rosa.

Most people start their hike in Täsh or the Saas Fee.

The route is normally done in an anti-clockwise pattern but if you want to make the route a little easier then a clockwise plan is better as the ascents are more gradual.

You will need to cross Theodul Pass (3,295m), which is one of the highest passes in the Alps.

For an excellent guidebook and map we recommend Hilary Sharp's The Tour of Monte Rosa: A Trekker's Guide .

Monte Rosa Trail Altitude Profile

In the chart below you can see the altitude profile of the full hike. It is quite clear there is a lot of altitude to be gained over the stages. The heighest point is 3,295 meters. You can see that there are a few strenuous stages reaching high mountain passes that will require great effort.

This profile was produced by Trace de Trail and shows the altitude profile for the hike as well as the ultra marathon!

Tour de Monte Rosa Itinerary

Below we have laid out the most popular version of the Tour de Monte Rosa route – 9 days, starting and finishing in Saas Grund. The itinerary includes approx. distances, hiking times and elevation changes.

Day 1:  Saas Grund – Macugnaga

Ascent: 650m Descent: 1500m Hiking time: 6-8hrs

The Monto Moro pass sitting at 2,853m is your first major col of the journey. Soon after you will reach the Italian part of the trip. Cameras will be much used since you will have great views of the Monte Rosa massif and an impressive look onto the Macugnaga wall.

Day 2:  Macugnaga to the Rifugio Pastore

Ascent: 1450m Descent:  1300m Hiking time: 7-8hrs

A great route over the Colle del Turlo while you reach the valley of Alagna. The Monte Rosa will be out of view, but not for long.

Day 3:  Alagna to Col d’Olen

Ascent: 1750m Descent: 560m Hiking time: 7-8hrs

A lot of altitude gain today, since you will need to reach Bocetta delle Pisse before descending to Alpe Pianlunga. You can spend the night at a rifugio close to lake Gabiet.

Day 4:  Col d’Olen to Resy

Ascent: 1050m Descent: 1300m Hiking time: 6-8hrs

When you reach the Gressoney valley you will truly feel yourself in the Italian Alps. Enjoy an Italian coffee while admiring the impressive Monte Rosa. But don’t depart too late, since there still is an ascent to complete before reaching the refuge at Resy, which is a stunning location.

Day 5:  Resy to the Matterhorn!

This is one of the highlights of the trek as you begin with a wonderful traverse towards the meadows of Alpe Varda and Alpe Mase. Soon you will gain views of the Breithorn while you’re climbing towards the Colle Superieur delle Cimes Blanches 2982m. From the top of the pass you gain first views of the Matterhorn, 4478m. After a short descent, your ascent continues to Theodul Pass at 3295m, where you spend the night.

Day 6:  Theodul Pass – Zermatt

Descent: 1700m Hiking time: 5hrs

An easy day since all you need to do is descend. Your day starts with the crossing of the glacier before passing Gandegg and on towards the Mattertal.

Day 7:  Zermatt to the Europahutte

Ascent: 850m Descent: 300m Hiking time: 6hrs

A pleasant start to the day since you head down the Mattertal before climbing steadily alongside the Europweg, a high mountain route. Be careful of rockfall, since this is unstable terrain. Spend the night in the Europa hut.

Day 8:  Europahutte to Grachen

Ascent: 500m Descent: 850m Hiking time: 6-7hrs

Your hike along the Europaweg continues by crossing boulder fields with stunning views.

Day 9:  Grachen to Saas Grund

Ascent: 1300m Descent: 1200m Hiking time: 6-7hrs

Even though it’s the last day of the Tour de Monte Rosa, you will finish in style, since this is one of the most stunning paths in the Alps.

Tour de Monte Rosa FAQ

When is the best time to trek the tour de monte rosa.

The best time to tackle this high-level trek around the Monte Rosa massif depends on the amount and timing of the previous winter’s snowfall and the onset of cold weather in the autumn.

Since the route crosses high passes (Theodul at 3295m), snow can create dangerous conditions. Therefore in a normal year it is not advisable to set out before early July .

In the summer months, July and August, the trail is busiest, temperatures can rise to 25 degrees, but thunderstorms or a dump of snow is possible as well. 

By the end of September huts will close and it might get a lot harder to complete the trek.

How much does the Tour de Monte Rosa trek cost?

Guided trekking tours of the Tour de Monte Rosa will cost in the region of $1,500-$2,000.

This will include mountain hut accommodation, food throughout the trek and  luggage transfers between each stage, which will allow you to enjoy the hike with just a small backpack. You will also be accompanied by an experienced guide.

The trek can however be done unsupported. The cost would be in the region of $1,000. A DIY trek would mean carrying more weight in your backpack and some planning of logistics in the weeks / months before.  

How difficult is the Tour de Monte Rosa trek?

Hiking the Tour de Monte Rosa is strenuous and demanding. Make sure your are physically and mentally fit for the trek. There are many steep, uphill sections to conquer, with over 13,000m of altitiude gained throughout the circuit. You need to ensure you are in shape for the physical demands of this route. Mental fitness is as important and often go hand in hand.

The Tour de Monte Rosa is doable for any fit mountain walkers who are able to hike between 5h and 8 hrs per day for several days in a row.

Please note : there are a few sections where you can use public transport to shorten your hike if you are struggling.

Are permits needed for the Monte Rosa trek?

No permits are required to the Monte Rosa circuit trek.

Is altitude sickness a risk on the Monte Rosa trek?

No, you will not cross passes any higher than 3,300 meter, and since you’re hiking slowly to this altitude, you have more than sufficient time to acclimatize.

Most people don’t feel any symptoms of altitude sickness before reaching 3000-3500 meter.  But this is when they haven’t spent enough time acclimatizing.

What gear do I need for the Monte Rosa?

To do a serious hike like the Tour de Monte Rosa you will need appropriate layered clothing, including a  warm insulated jacket  and a  hard shell waterproof layer . 

Some comfortable lightweight trekking boots  are a must to enjoy this trek, while good waterproofs are essential, not only to protect you against rain or snowfall but to double as windproofs. Since you’ll be crossing passes of more than 3000 meters, gloves and  several base / second layers  may prove useful.  Trekking poles are a good way to not overload your knees and ankles.

If you are hiking unsupported you will need to carry a 50-60L backpack , however, if you plan to join an organised tour then many organisations will often include luggage transfer to your next accommodation in the valley, so you only need to carry a small backpack with some lunch, snacks and clothes.

A good three season, preferably four season sleeping bag  is a must!

To help you plan and prepare for your trek we recommend  reading our gear section .

I am wondering if there is a possibility of shortening the trip and what your recommendation would be to do such.

I remember I ended the trek at Staffal (Gressoney-La-Trinité) and traveled with public transport to Milan. I liked the part crossing Theodulpass so my advice would be to follow the route clock-wise towards Zermatt. This would take 3-4 days, so you could hike further along the Europaweg towards Sint Niklaus as well, adding two extra days.

If you have mountaineering aspirations or just want some bragging rights 😉 you can climb Breithorn along the way from Klein Matterhorn. This is an easy 4000 meter peak, which requires crampons and ice axe though, but only takes 3 hours. It gives you awesome views on Matterhorn and Monte Rosa massif.

Hi. Great site. Thanks for offering help. If I fly in to Milan and have 6 hiking days, what are suggested routes? [Beginning August. Dad & Grad (son graduating high school). Fitness – I run marathons, he runs half marathons. We had a great 4 day hut to hut experience in Switz/ Bernese Oberland a few yrs ago.] I assume we can’t do full circuit. Is that right? Thank you!

HI Tagrey, see our answer to Michael Wirth below. Cheers!

Hello! Thanks for the info above. I’m planning on self guided walk in July. I’ve done a lot of hiking but new to the alps. Is saas-fee – Macugnaga a fairly manageable 30km first day? Seems too short to stop at Britannia Hutte after only 10km.

Thanks! Bella

Trip Levels

With more than 200 different adventures to choose from, we want to help you find the trip that’s right for you. Our Trip Level system ranks each trip in two ways: a number rating from 1 to 6 according to the activity, and general travel rigors. 1 is the easiest and 6+ the most difficult—see descriptions below for explanations of each number. A plus (+) sign means the trip is a bit more strenuous than other trips of that level. The detailed explanation of each trip—below the bar with the number rating—is perhaps more important, specifying activities, altitudes, hiking, and travel conditions. The Detailed Itinerary, available by download or mail, gives further information. Our Area Managers can also answer questions and guide you to the trip that best suits your interests.

• Food and water

Additional equipment for glacier crossings: crampons, climbing harness, 1 rope per group of 4, suitable clothing

Reserve mountain huts and accommodation in mountain villages in advance.

The mountain landscape along the Tour Matterhorn is known for its breathtaking panoramas, attractive mountain villages and wealth of fauna and flora.

• Plan every mountain tour carefully and adapt to participants’ fitness level as well as the weather and season.
• Weather conditions can change quickly in the mountains. Appropriate clothing is therefore essential, along with adequate supplies of food and water. In uncertain weather, turn back in good time.
• Inform others of planned route, and whenever possible avoid going alone.
• Do not leave the marked routes; do not venture onto glaciers without a mountain guide.
• Please be considerate to other walkers and to plants and animals.
• Take note of the warning signs drawing attention to the constant danger in river beds and along watercourses below dams and reservoirs.

Important! This is a demanding alpine trek; stages may include glacier traverses. We therefore recommend the services of a mountain guide with local knowledge. Tip: “Be searchable”. Equip yourself with an additional RECCO rescue reflector*. Whether summer or winter. Available in our Online-Shop or our information desk. *The additional reflector does not replace an avalanche beacon.

Hiking the Tour of the Monte Rosa

Through the swiss & italian pennine alps.

When it comes to alpine adventures, the Monte Rosa range is undoubtedly a name that comes to mind. This magnificent mountain range, located in the Pennine Alps, straddles the border between Switzerland and Italy. While the region is famous for its renowned peaks like Dufourspitze and Signalkuppe, there are also lesser-known areas within Monte Rosa that offer a unique and rewarding hiking experience. For those seeking an off the beaten path adventure, exploring Monte Rosa is an absolute treat.

One such area is the Sesia Valley, nestled on the Italian side of Monte Rosa. This hidden gem boasts breathtaking landscapes, charming alpine villages, and a network of hiking trails that will captivate outdoor enthusiasts. The Sesia Valley remains relatively untouched by mass tourism, allowing hikers to immerse themselves in pristine nature and experience a sense of serenity that is often hard to find in more popular destinations.

One of the highlights of hiking in the Sesia Valley is the opportunity to explore the Walser villages. These small, traditional hamlets are steeped in history and offer a glimpse into the region's rich cultural heritage. Walking through these picturesque villages, with their wooden chalets and flower-filled balconies, feels like stepping back in time. The Walser people have preserved their unique language, architecture, and way of life, creating an authentic and enchanting atmosphere.

As you venture deeper into the Sesia Valley, you'll be rewarded with stunning alpine scenery. Towering peaks, glacier-fed streams, and lush meadows dotted with colorful wildflowers create a visual feast for the eyes. Hiking trails meander through this natural wonderland, catering to a range of difficulty levels and allowing hikers to choose their own adventure. From leisurely strolls along gentle paths to challenging ascents to mountain passes, there is something for everyone.

One trail that shouldn't be missed is the Alta Via della Valle d'Otro. This multi-day trek takes you through remote valleys, high mountain passes, and breathtaking vistas. Along the way, you'll encounter crystal-clear lakes, cascading waterfalls, and dramatic rock formations. Camping or staying in mountain huts along the route adds an element of adventure and allows you to fully immerse yourself in the alpine environment.

Another hidden gem in the Monte Rosa range is the Gressoney Valley. Located on the Italian side, this valley is renowned for its charming villages, such as Gressoney-Saint-Jean and Gressoney-La-Trinité. The valley is also home to the famous Lyskamm ridge, which offers spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. Hiking trails in the Gressoney Valley cater to a variety of skill levels, making it an accessible destination for hikers of all abilities.

While exploring the lesser-known alpine regions of Monte Rosa, it's important to be prepared and well-equipped. The weather in the mountains can be unpredictable, so packing appropriate clothing, navigation tools, and sufficient supplies is essential. Additionally, it's advisable to check trail conditions and consult local guides or tourist information centers for up-to-date information before setting out on your adventure.

Off the beaten path and away from the crowds, hiking in the lesser-known alpine regions of the Monte Rosa offers a truly authentic and unforgettable experience. The untouched natural beauty, the rich cultural heritage, and the sense of tranquility make it a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you're a seasoned hiker seeking a new challenge or a nature lover looking to escape the hustle and bustle, Monte Rosa's hidden alpine regions will leave you with lasting memories of a truly remarkable journey.

APPROFONDISCI le tappe di Alagna

Gressoney/Gabiet - Alagna

Una delle tappe più lunghe, ma che può essere accorciata utilizzando gli impianti del Monterosa-ski.

Lo stambecco di bronzo che guarda la valle di Gressoney dal colle del Camoscio, che segna il confine tra Valle d’Aosta e Valsesia, è senza dubbio l’obiettivo della salita da Gressoney, dove la vastità della valle è punteggiata da numerosi alpeggi walser che fanno da corona agli spazi aperti e ariosi dell’area del Gabiet. Passato il colle si scende in direzione di Alagna, percorrendo un sentiero ben segnato in un’ampia area morenica. Dopo circa 30 minuti di discesa, si raggiunge l’istituto Mosso, centro specializzato nella ricerca in alta quota dell’università di Torino e un po’ più a valle il rifugio Vigevano, oggi chiuso. La discesa nel vallone dell’Olen costeggia il Sasso del Diavolo, enorme pietrone spaccato in due che la leggenda racconta, sarebbe servito al Diavolo per impedire la costruzione di una cappelletta a Gressoney. Ma l’amore di Dio impedì il misfatto e il diavolo per la rabbia scaglio il masso verso Alagna che rotolando e rimbalzando imprigionò il Diavolo al suo interno, dove pare, ancora oggi, sia. Poco oltre il Sasso del Diavolo si incontra la deviazione per il passo Foric che sceglieranno i camminatori che vogliono raggiungere Alagna attraverso la bellissima val d’Otro. Per i viaggiatori che passano da Otro punto tappa sono il rifugio Zar Senni a Follu oppure Alagna con circa un’ora di cammino in più. Per i viaggiatori che decidono di scendere verso Alagna lungo la valle dell’Olen, in 40 minuti di cammino dalla deviazione, si raggiunge l’alpe Pianalunga dove c’è una stazione della funivia che porta in centro ad Alagna e 15 minuti più a valle si trova il rifugio Grande Halte, possibile punto tappa. Con un’altra ora e mezza di cammino si raggiunge Alagna (vedi elenco hotel e B&B nella sezione alloggi) oppure si può proseguire fino al rifugio Pastore che è la base della tappa successiva. A piedi è circa un’ora e mezza, ma in estate c’è un servizio navetta continuato fino alle 17 (info al + 39 0163 922988). Il tragitto si può fare anche in taxi con un costo di circa 20 € e poi 10 minuti a piedi per raggiungere il rifugio che ha la più bella vista sulla parete sud del Monte Rosa.

Alagna - Macugnaga

La tappa Alagna Macugnaga è percorsa dal bellissimo sentiero lastricato costruito dal battaglione Intra negli anni ’20 che raggiunge i 2.738 metri del colle del Turlo -ds T ü rli- la piccola porta, da cui passarono le popolazioni Walser di Macugnaga per dare vita alla nuova colonia di Alagna attorno al 1200. Il panorama è davvero suggestivo e la salita regolare e continua: prima boschi di latifoglie e conifere e altre il limite della vegetazione gli alpi Faller e Fum Blatte, in primavera tempestati di genzianelle.

Dal colle si scende nella valle Anzasca e il sentiero corre attraverso boschi suggestivi e cascatelle d’acqua; di tanto in tanto si incontrano precipizi e suggestivi ponti in legno ma anche i tratti più esposti, sembrano innocui e facili in virtù del sentiero ben tenuto e largo. Prima di giungere a Quarazza si incontra il lago delle Fate, piccolo lago artificiale che merita una sosta.

Da qui in 30 minuti si raggiunge Macugnaga, borgo Walser curato e ben organizzato con molti alberghi dove soggiornare dopo questa lunga tappa

Guida al tour del Monte Rosa

• Gennaio 23, 2019

Con dieci cime che superano i 4000 metri di altezza, il massiccio del Monte Rosa è uno dei più impressionanti delle Alpi. E’ giusto dire che il Tour de Monte Rosa di 9 giorni, intorno al massiccio, è uno dei migliori itinerari escursionistici delle Alpi.

L’escursione offre un mix epico di paesaggi montani impressionanti attraverso due grandi stati europei.

Dai passi montani silenziosi alle verdi vallate punteggiate di chalet svizzeri in legno durante la prima metà dell’escursione, alla tranquillità dei remoti villaggi di montagna italiani durante le ultime tappe del trekking, il Tour de Monte Rosa rappresenta un’ottima alternativa al Tour du Mont Blanc.

Ma sappiate che, nonostante sia una delle escursioni più panoramiche delle Alpi, il percorso è faticoso, in particolare l’attraversamento del Passo del Theodul, alto 3.295 metri!

Questa pagina fornisce una panoramica dettagliata del percorso del Tour de Monte Rosa. Vi consigliamo di utilizzare i link rapidi qui sotto per navigare verso le sezioni che vi interessano di più. In alternativa, segnalibri questa pagina per riferimenti futuri.

Panoramica del percorso

Il Tour de Monte Rosa è un lungo sentiero escursionistico di più giorni che copre una distanza totale di 162 chilometri e supera i 13.000 metri di dislivello in 8-10 tappe.

Il punto più alto raggiunto durante l’escursione è di 3.295 metri.

La maggior parte delle persone iniziano l’escursione a Täsh, in Svizzera, in senso antiorario. Ad est del Cervino, il bellissimo Monte Rosa si trova al confine tra la Svizzera e l’Italia.

Il Tour de Monte Rosa è l’occasione perfetta per vivere le diverse valli di entrambi i paesi.

Durante l’escursione circolare si attraversano zone fortemente ghiacciate, si gode di una vista panoramica sulle cime più alte della Svizzera e si incontrano alcuni dei passi montani più alti delle Alpi. Il percorso vi porterà a città famose come Zermatt, Aosta e Saas Fee, attraversando il famoso Europaweg.

La maggior parte delle persone iniziano la loro escursione a Täsh o al Saas Fee.

Il percorso è normalmente fatto in senso antiorario, ma se si vuole rendere il percorso un po’ più facile, è meglio un piano in senso orario, poiché le salite sono più graduali.

È necessario attraversare il Passo del Theodul (3.295 m), uno dei passi più alti delle Alpi.

Per un’ottima guida turistica e mappa vi consigliamo The Tour of Monte Rosa di Hilary Sharp: Una guida escursionistica.

Profilo altimetrico

Nella tabella sottostante è possibile vedere il profilo altimetrico dell’intera escursione. E’ abbastanza chiaro che c’è molta altitudine da guadagnare durante le tappe. Il punto più alto è di 3.295 metri. Si può vedere che ci sono alcune tappe impegnative che raggiungono i passi di alta montagna che richiedono un grande sforzo.

Di seguito abbiamo presentato la versione più popolare del percorso del Tour de Monte Rosa – 9 giorni, con partenza e arrivo a Saas Grund. L’itinerario comprende circa distanze, tempi di percorrenza e dislivelli.

1° giorno: Saas Grund – Macugnaga

Salita: 650m Discesa: 1500m Tempo di marcia: 6-8 ore

Il passo del Monto Moro a 2.853 m è il primo grande passo del viaggio. Poco dopo si raggiunge la parte italiana del viaggio. Le macchine fotografiche saranno molto utilizzate perché si avrà una splendida vista sul massiccio del Monte Rosa e uno sguardo impressionante sulle mura di Macugnaga.

2° giorno: Macugnaga al Rifugio Pastore

Salita: 1450m Discesa: 1300m Tempo di marcia: 7-8 ore

Un ottimo percorso sul Colle del Turlo mentre si raggiunge la valle di Alagna. Il Monte Rosa sarà fuori dalla vista, ma non per molto tempo.

3° giorno: Alagna al Col d’Olen

Salita: 1750m Discesa: 560m Tempo di marcia: 7-8 ore

Oggi è necessario raggiungere la Bocetta delle Pisse prima di scendere sull’Alpe Pianlunga. Si può pernottare in un rifugio vicino al lago di Gabiet.

4° giorno: Col d’Olen a Resy

Salita: 1050m Discesa: 1300m Tempo di marcia: 6-8 ore

Quando si raggiunge la valle di Gressoney ci si sente veramente nelle Alpi italiane. Godetevi un caffè italiano ammirando l’imponente Monte Rosa. Ma non partire troppo tardi, perché c’è ancora una salita da completare prima di raggiungere il rifugio di Resy, che è una posizione mozzafiato.

5° giorno: Resy to the Matterhorn!

Questo è uno dei punti salienti del trekking che inizia con una splendida traversata verso i prati dell’Alpe Varda e dell’Alpe Mase. Presto si può ammirare il Breithorn mentre si sale verso il Colle Superieur delle Cimes Blanches 2982m. Dalla cima del passo si gode una prima vista sul Cervino, 4478m. Dopo una breve discesa, la salita prosegue fino al passo del Theodul a 3295 m, dove si pernotta.

6° giorno: Passo del Theodul – Zermatt

Discesa: 1700m Tempo di marcia: 5 ore

Una giornata facile, visto che tutto cio’ che devi fare e’ scendere. La giornata inizia con l’attraversamento del ghiacciaio prima di superare Gandegg e proseguire in direzione della Mattertal.

7° giorno: da Zermatt all’Europahutte

Salita: 850m Discesa: 300m Tempo di marcia: 6 ore

Un piacevole inizio di giornata, perché si scende lungo la Mattertal e si sale costantemente lungo l’Europweg, una via di alta montagna. Fate attenzione alla caduta massi, dato che il terreno è instabile. Trascorrete la notte nel rifugio Europa.

8° giorno: da Europahutte a Grachen

Salita: 500m Discesa: 850m Tempo di marcia: 6-7 ore

L’escursione lungo l’Europaweg prosegue attraversando campi di masso con vista mozzafiato.

9° giorno: da Grachen a Saas Grund

Salita: 1300m Discesa: 1200m Tempo di marcia: 6-7 ore

Anche se è l’ultimo giorno del Tour de Monte Rosa, il vostro arrivo sarà in grande stile, poiché si tratta di uno dei sentieri più belli delle Alpi.

El Tour del Monte Rosa es una preciosa travesía de montaña por los Alpes que recorre algunos de los valles más bonitos de Suiza e Italia. Con una exigencia física un poco mayor que el Tour del Mont Blanc, debemos superar varios collados a más de 2.700 metros de altitud y uno, el más alto, a más de 3.000 metros, el paso Theodul. Acompañados por un guía de montaña, las rutas de montaña nos permitirán conocer el encanto de los pueblos alpinos, descubrir naturales e históricos rincones y por supuesto disfrutar de inmejorables vistas rodeados de alguna de las montañas más bellas del mundo como el Cervino, el Dom o el Dent Blanche. La exigencia física de este trekking es notable, teniendo que estar acostumbrados a realizar largas jornadas de montaña cargando con nuestra propia mochila.

Imprescindible estar en posesión de la licencia federativa con cobertura europea o contratar un seguro de accidentes que te cubra la actividad.

Día 1: Punto de encuentro en Grächen, Suiza.

Si tomamos un vuelo a Ginebra es importante hacerlo a primera hora de la mañana para, posteriormente, poder viajar a Grachen. Alojamiento y cena en Grächen.

Día 2: Grächen – Saas Fee.

Comenzamos el Tour del Monte Rosa ascendiendo por el bosque hasta Hannigalp. A continuación, el camino comienza a girar siguiendo el impresionante sendero Balfrin Höhenweg que une el valle de Saastal y el Mattertal. La senda va colgada de la ladera, teniendo algunos tramos un poco estrechos o aéreos donde debemos tomar precauciones al pasar. Al otro lado del valle contemplamos las cumbres del Weissmies, el Lagginhorn y sus brillantes glaciares. Por encima de nosotros se encuentran los glaciares de Balfrin y Bider. A través de un bosque de pinos la senda nos lleva hasta el alpino pueblo de Saas Fee donde nos alojaremos rodeados de montañas que superan los cuatro mil metros de altitud.

• Desnivel de ascenso: 1.250 metros.
• Desnivel de descenso: 1.050 metros.
• Distancia: 21 kilómetros.
• Duración: 8-9 horas.

Día 3: Saas Fee – Macugnaga.

Nos trasladaremos en autobús desde Saas Fee hasta la presa de Mattmark, donde comenzamos el ascenso. A nuestra derecha quedarán los glaciares Schwarzberg y Seewjinen mientras seguimos el elaborado camino hasta el collado del monte Moro a 2.850 metros. Por este histórico paso accedemos a Italia. Apenas un poco de descenso por escalones artificiales y una cadena como pasamanos, nos encontramos el Refugio Oberto. Tras contemplar las espléndidas vistas de nuestro alrededor, descendemos al valle por un largo sendero. A medida que perdemos altura, la impresionante mole de roca y hielo del Monte Rosa nos mostrará su gran dimensión. A 1.305 metros de altitud llegaremos al coqueto pueblo de Macugnaga, lugar acogedor con excelentes vistas donde tenemos nuestro alojamiento.

* Para descender a Macugnaga existe la opción de coger un teleférico. (Nos resta unos 1.500 metros de descenso).

• Desnivel de ascenso: 810 metros.
• Desnivel de descenso: 1.700 metros.
• Distancia: 16 kilómetros.
• Duración: 6-7 horas.

Día 4: Macugnaga – Collado del Turlo – Refugio Pastore.

Quizás la etapa más bonita del Tour del Monte Rosa. Iniciamos el día adentrándonos en el precioso valle de Quarazza. Ascendiendo de manera suave y progresiva pasamos junto a las bordas de La Piana, donde comienza un largo camino empedrado. Más arriba pasamos junto a la cuidada cabaña Lanti y con un poco más de esfuerzo alcanzamos el collado Turlo a 2.740 metros. Una vez alcanzado este punto, el más alto del día, podremos contemplar el enorme valle que hemos ascendido. Aún tenemos por delante un largo descenso hasta llegar al encantador refugio Pastore, ubicado a 1.575 metros de altitud en un enclave privilegiado, con vistas hacia la cabaña Margarita del Monte Rosa. El trekking por Alpes nos ha traído hasta uno de los mejores parques naturales, el Parque Natural de Alta Valsesia.

*Jornada SIN POSIBILIDAD de coger teleférico.

• Desnivel de ascenso: 1.610 metros.
• Desnivel de descenso: 1.350 metros.
• Distancia: 22 kilómetros.

Día 5: Refugio Pastore  – Collado Olen – Refugio Gabiet.

Descendemos por el bosque hasta el pueblo de Alagna Valesia. Como tenemos por delante una jornada de notable exigencia física no podremos detenernos mucho. Comenzamos con la fuerte subida por el bosque de pinos y alerces para dar paso a las verdes praderas alpinas, del valle de Otro. Dejando este fantástico enclave nos dirigimos a Pianmisura para hacer frente a la fuerte subida hasta el collado Foric. Perdemos un poco de altura por unos pasos estrechos para finalizar con la última subida en el Col d’Olen a 2.881 metros. Con nuevas vistas descendemos hacia el valle de Gressoney para llegar al lago y refugio Gabiet a 2.350 metros de altitud.

• Desnivel de ascenso: 1.840 metros.
• Distancia: 19 kilómetros.
• Duración: 7-8 horas.

*En esta jornada se pueden hacer dos tramos en teleférico.

Día 6: Refugio Gabiet – Collado Bettaforca – Refugio Ferraro.

Etapa tranquila y sencilla que se inicia con la bajada hasta Staffal Tschaval (Gressoney) situado a 1.850 metros. A continuación, subimos por buen camino hasta Sitten, buen lugar para descansar y disfrutar del momento que estamos viviendo. La subida restante, hasta coronar el colle Della Bettaforca a 2.672 metros la realizamos por el camino de las pistas de esquí. Pasado el collado, un nuevo y cómodo descenso nos lleva al fin de jornada en el refugio Ferraro ubicado a 2.066 metros, en Resy, por encima del pueblo de Champoluc y el valle de Ayas.

• Desnivel de ascenso: 980 metros.
• Desnivel de descenso: 1.250 metros.

Día 7: Refugio Ferraro – Refugio Teodulo (3.317 metros).

El Tour del Monte Rosa aún nos aguarda con una exigente jornada. Por el bosque, un breve descenso hasta Piain di Verra, cruzamos el rio y subimos por el valle de Courtoud. Verdes praderas y algunos lagos como el lago Bleu acompañan nuestros pasos hacia el collado superior de la Cime Blanche a 2.981 metros. La naturaleza que nos rodea es formidable, las vistas son sublimes, pero aún lo son más cuando el Cervino se muestra ante nuestras miradas. Bajaremos por la zona de pistas de esquí hasta la estación del teleférico para seguir subiendo hasta el collado y el refugio de Teodulo, a 3.317 metros de altitud. Desde este enclave privilegiado tendremos la oportunidad de cenar con vistas al cercano Cervino, el Monte Rosa, el Dent Blanch, Weisshorn y un largo etcétera. Será un día especial que todos deseamos vivir.

• Desnivel de ascenso: 1.390 metros.
• Desnivel de descenso: 460 metros.
• Distancia: 17 kilómetros.

Día 8: Refugio Teodulo – Zermatt.

Finalizamos el trekking por los Alpes entrando de nuevo en Suiza. Aunque la jornada no suele hacerse larga, hay mucho desnivel que descender para llegar a uno de los pueblos más bonitos del mundo, Zermatt. Un pueblo de ensueño con sus casas de madera rodeado de montañas que superan los 4.000 metros. Bajamos por las pistas de esquí hasta Trockener Steg, punto desde donde vemos el enorme glaciar Gorner que se desliza bajo el Monte Rosa. La bajada nos conduce por un camino hasta llegar a Zermatt, donde finalizamos esta inolvidable ruta por los Alpes.

• Desnivel de ascenso: 130 metros.
• Desnivel de descenso: 1.820 metros.
• Duración: 5-6 horas.

The sprawling, mind-boggling metropolis of Russian Moscow has long been one of the theatrical stages on which the great dramas of Europe and Asia have been played out in grand style. Burned by Napoleon in 1812, immortalised by Tolstoy, utilised by the Bolsheviks and championed as a bastion of heroic defiance by the post-war communists, it’s almost hard to believe just how defining the historical events that found their home on Moscow’s streets have been. Moscow tour guides will easily be able to mark the major must-see landmarks on the map, from the onion-domed orthodox Saint Basil's Cathedral, to the political powerhouse of Red Square just next door, while others will be quick to recommend a ride on Moscow’s famous subterranean metro system, or a visit to the UNESCO-attested Novodevichy Convent on the city’s southern side. But Moscow is a city also in the throes of a cultural wrangling between the old and the new. Creative energies abound here: Boho bars and pumping super clubs now occupy the iconic mega structures of the old USSR; high-fashion outlets, trendy shopping malls and luxurious residential districts stand as testimony to a city that’s now the undisputed playground of the world’s super-rich, while sprawling modern art museums dominate the cultural offering of the downtown districts north of the Moskva River.

Tra Italia e Svizzera – il Tour del Monte Rosa

Spazi selvaggi, montagne che si ergono per oltre 4.000 metri in ogni direzione e sentieri tranquilli: ecco cosa rende il Tour del Monte Rosa, spesso abbreviato in TMR, perfetto per il trail running. I suoi circa 165 chilometri sono stati concepiti per essere camminati in otto o dieci tappe. Tuttavia, ho suddiviso l'intero percorso in cinque tappe, in modo da poter godere del meglio di entrambi i mondi: una vera sfida di corsa in montagna, mantenendo l'atmosfera rilassante di un'escursione e passando le notti in rifugi o nelle piccole città di montagna. Il percorso, che inizia e termina a Macugnaga, in Piemonte, segue il senso antiorario attorno al massiccio del Monte Rosa, un mondo infinitamente affascinante di roccia e ghiaccio. Vedrai non solo le montagne più alte e belle delle Alpi, le 40 cime che superano i 4.000 metri d'altitudine, ma anche i pittoreschi villaggi di montagna della comunità Walser, un popolo di discendenza tedesca stanziata nelle regioni montuose dell'Italia settentrionale, in particolare nelle Alpi. Il Monte Rosa sarà il protagonista di questa avventura, ma non mancheranno scenari mozzafiato con vista anche sul Cervino. Una delle scene più iconiche di questa avventura è il Cervino che si erge all'orizzonte di Zermatt. Il TMR non è un itinerario recente; il primo a percorrerlo fu Horace Bénédict de Saussure, un facoltoso scienziato svizzero e alpinista. Il 15 luglio 1789 partì da Ginevra, attraversò il passo del Sempione e si addentrò in questa terra sconosciuta. Immagina una montagna selvaggia, dove i suoni sono solo il fragore dei ghiacci che si staccano e lo scricchiolio della neve sotto gli scarponi chiodati. De Saussure non andò tra i monti per una semplice vacanza come facciamo noi oggi, ma per studiare l'orografia, le popolazioni indigene e tutti i fenomeni di questi luoghi. Per affrontare questo percorso, avrai bisogno di una buona condizione fisica poiché le tappe sono impegnative. Lo consiglio solo a chi ha esperienza di corsa in montagna. È un percorso faticoso, con passaggi ad alta quota e alcuni tratti tecnici, ma la corsa è possibile nella maggior parte del terreno, a patto che i tuoi muscoli siano pronti ad affrontare le salite. Questo cammino è transfrontaliero, attraversando due nazioni, Italia e Svizzera, quindi ricordati che cambierà la moneta. Il periodo migliore per intraprenderlo va da giugno a settembre, quando i rifugi alpini sono aperti. È fondamentale prenotare i pernottamenti con largo anticipo. Naturalmente, un buon paio di scarpe da trail è essenziale. Consiglio vivamente di indossare strati caldi e impermeabili per affrontare le frequenti variazioni meteorologiche in alta montagna. Inoltre, puoi gestire la traversata del ghiacciaio con ramponcini, ma puoi anche portare attrezzature più robuste per una maggiore sicurezza. A Macugnaga puoi arrivare in autobus dalla stazione di Domodossola. Quest'ultima località è collegata a Milano da treni diretti. Se hai l'obiettivo di partecipare all'Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB), il TMR è il terreno di allenamento perfetto, poiché presenta molte somiglianze, sebbene sia leggermente più impegnativo. Ti do il benvenuto nel mondo della montagna. Buon cammino! Se vuoi esplorare il TMR camminando, scopri di più qui: komoot.com/collection/1577214
