A circuit among the Alps\u2019 highest mountains<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Monte Rosa massif provides the setting for a trek where the mountain scenery and the character of each valley become part of the journey. The route crosses Switzerland and Italy, starting and finishing in Zermatt. Maddy Williams\u2019 guide is for walkers seeking a continuous high-mountain trek and time to explore the valleys around some of the Alps\u2019 greatest peaks.<\/p>\n

Approximately 174 kilometres in 11 stages<\/strong><\/p>\n

The trek is described in 11 main stages, with an alternative stage and optional glacier crossings. Gr\u00e4chen and Saas-Fee in Switzerland, and Gressoney, Alagna and Macugnaga in Italy, are among the places along the route. Stage summaries help you assess the itinerary as a whole, with several long, demanding days in succession. Accommodation and daily distances deserve careful planning before departure.<\/p>\n

Maps and practical information along the way<\/strong><\/p>\n

Route descriptions are supported by 1:100,000 maps and elevation profiles. A facilities overview brings together accommodation, transport and resupply information, and GPX files are available from Cicerone. Planning advice covers equipment, preparation and weather. Background on the villages and mountain areas adds interest to the time between passes.<\/p>\n

For experienced mountain walkers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Long climbs, exposed paths and unstable ground make the Tour of Monte Rosa a challenging trek. Several stages reach high elevations, while optional glacier crossings demand additional equipment and skills. The publisher generally recommends July to mid-September. Use the guide to assess your experience, companions and route choices together: this is a different undertaking from a collection of easy day walks from the valley.<\/p>\n
