The Tour of Monte Rosa - A Trekker's Guide

 
The Tour of Monte Rosa is a challenging and very varied adventure, taking a high route around the massif, which has ten summits over 4000m. Italy and Switzerland meet here, and the contrast between these two countries, their different culture, food and languages, give this trek its originality.
