The Mont Rose

The "Haute-Route" of the  Mont Rose with skis is a must for ski mountaineering. Always above the 4000m, we cross successively the Breithorn, Castor, Nazo del Liskam, Pyramid Vincent, culminating on the last day the Punta Gnifetti (4554m) with, the icing on the cake, the stunning descent of the Grenzgletscher after the Gorner Gletscher until Zermatt.
