Monte Rosa 6-day backcountry splitboarding traverse

Monte Rosa is an ice-covered mountain massif lying on the eastern region of the Pennine Alps (also known as the Valais Alps), on the northwest of Italy, bounding with Switzerland. With an elevation of 4,634 meters, it is the second-highest mountain in the Alps and in the whole western Europe.

Monte Rosa is also one of the top mountaineering and backcountry skiing destinations in Europe. Given its high altitude, it features huge off-piste areas with deep powder during long seasons. Eternal snows and extensive glaciers largely cover the whole mountain, except for its granite ridge summit.

Our tour will depart from the Cervinia ski resort, located in the Aosta Valley, where we will take the lift up to the Plateau Rosa ski area (3,500m).

During 6 days, we will splitboard across Monte Rosa’s slopes and high valleys, spending the nights in different mountain refuges, among which is the famous Regina Margherita Hut (4,559m), the highest mountain shelter in Europe. As a highlight, we will traverse across several mountains in the area, visiting 6 peaks over 4,000 meters on the fifth day!
