Tour Description
Climb the highest peak in Switzerland with the experienced mountain guides of the Firngrat team. This classic high-altitude tour begins very early in the morning at the Monte Rosa Hut: in the light of our headlamps we make our way over the Monte Rosa glacier to the west ridge of the Dufourspitze. The latter leads us to the summit in an enjoyable climb – a fantastic path that requires commitment and endurance.
