The colours of Mount Rosa
The wonderful trekking “Tour Monte Rosa – Matterhorn” is a great experience around the “Queen of the Alps”, Monte Rosa, walking along the famous Matterhorn trail. Zermatt and Saas Fee in Switzerland and Alagna, Macugnaga, Ayas and Gressoney are some of the lovely Italian villages you will visit.
This well organized six day Tour Monte Rosa – Matterhorn will allow you to admire the beautiful valleys from a vast array of summits above 4000 meters known as the famous Four-thousanders.
