The Mont Rose

The Monte Rosa "Haute-Route"  by skis is a must in ski mountaineering. Always above the 4000m, we cross all the Monte Rosa range, culminating on the last day at the Punta Gnifetti (4554m) with, the icing on the cake, the stunning descent of the Grenzgletscher after the Gorner Gletscher until Zermatt.
