Description

New, modern and incredibly comfortable, spending a night in the Monte Rosa hut (2,883m) is a wonderful experience.

One of, if not the most modern mountain huts in not just the Alps, but in the entire world, just visiting the Monte Rosa hut is an amazing experience. However, on this 2 day trek, the hut is but one aspect of the adventure.

Beginning in the beautiful resort town of Zermatt, which you will get plenty of time to explore and enjoy, we will then make our way to the Gornergrat station. From the station, we will take a scenic ride on the famed Gornergrat train up to Rotenboden. After you’ve enjoyed some great views of Rotenboden, we will hike between 3 and 4 hours to the Monte Rosa hut. Each hour will see you ascending approximately 300 meters. We will also traverse the amazing Gorner glacier.

Once we reach the hut, you will get ample time to gaze out at the beauty of the Alps. You will get to see many of the area’s greatest peaks, including the renowned Matterhorn. After a comfortable night’s sleep, and some delicious food, on the following morning, we will make our way back to Rotenboden and then Zermatt, which will conclude the adventure.

As a result of the trekking conditions, participants on this trip should be in good physical condition.

Would you like to spend a night in one of the most modern and comfortable mountain huts in the world? Then send me a request, come to Zermatt, and let me guide you to the beautiful Monte Rosa hut.

Would you like to go on another Zermatt trekking adventure? Then join me on this trip that will take you to the summit of the Mettelhorn.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
