The Tour of Monte Rosa is an incredible trek in the Swiss and Italian Alps. It circumnavigates the Monte Rosa Massif, passing Zermatt and Saas Fee (two of the most famous Alpine towns). On the way, pass the largest collection of snowy 4000m summits in the Alps: Mont Blanc, Grand Combin, the Weisshorn, the Zinalrothorn, the Dom, the Täschhorn, the Breithorn and the Matterhorn, to name a few.

The sister trek to the Walker’s Haute Route crosses unspoilt and remote mountain terrain: amazing glaciers, snow frosted summits, beautiful valleys and pastures, shimmering lakes, carpets of wild flowers and the soothing sound of cow bells. This trek should be on your hiking bucket list.
