Description

Zermatt is one of the most famous and exclusive ski resorts in Switzerland. It is located at the bottom of the Cervino Valley, in the south of the country. This beautiful commune lies at 1620 meters above sea level.

But Zermatt is not only a huge ski resort. It is also close to the worldwide famous Matterhorn Mountain. You have to come ski on this paradise!

Therefore I would like to offer some interesting ski mountaineering tours in Zermatt. They won't take more than one day. In this way, you will be able to get a real feel of the place, skiing among its most beautiful corners.

The programs I propose below are suitable for beginners as well as intermediate backcountry skiers.

BREITHORN (4164 M)

We'll depart via Schwarztor or the Thodul glacier. The ascent will take between 1.5 and 2 hours. Then, we can seek out the best lines. I will lead a group of up to 3 guests. Price: 260 CHF per person.

BLACK GATE (3731 M)

It's an easy ski tour with a magnificent glacier slope where we can let go. The total ascent time is around 1.5 hours. I can take a maximum of 3 and the price is 215 CHF per person.

PFULWE (3155 M)

We'll ascend from the Fluhalp River towards Täschalpe (1449m). Ascent time: 2:30 hours. After that, we will track some fresh snow! I will guide a group of no more than 3 participants. Price per person: 215 CHF.

Next departures go from February to April, 2018. It's the best season to enjoy winter activities in Zermatt. That's why I also offer multi-day programs in the area, like this 5-day ski tour from Saint Luc to Zermatt. You can check it out!

So if you're ready to join me on these day tours, please fill out the form and get in touch with me now. Zermatt is waiting for you. And so am I!

Mountain Guide

Roberto “Rouge” Rossi, born on 24/02/1976 in Turin, forms the Mountain Passion guide team with Riccardo Olliveri.

I graduated in Biology, and I'm a Mountain Guide since 2003, and Guide Instructor since 2007.

I'm enthusiastic for all that is mountains and verticality, practice 360-degree mountaineering, with a large number of climbs along the entire Western Alpine arc where I've made all kinds of climbs and on all terrains, with a predilection for Mont Blanc. However, I did not neglect the extra-European mountains by making extra-European and European trips and expeditions including Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Patagonia, Himalaya, Pakistan, Morocco, Kenya, Norway, Spain, Japan, Canada, USA.

I now divide my days between Cervinia and Chamonix, and I'm a great lover of high mountain climbing and steep skiing, among which the descents of the North of Lyskamm, of the East and of the South of Monte Rosa, of the North of Aiguille du Midi along different itineraries and east of the Matterhorn. I'm also a trainer for work at height with access and positioning systems using ropes and for third category fall protection PPE.

I collaborate with specialized magazines in the sector (ALP, Planetmountain) and am a consultant for Montura, Scarpa, ATK, Kæstle, Edelweiss, ARVA, BLUE ICE.

What people are saying about Roberto

Akshaan

Roberto a été un excellent guide ! On a beaucoup rigolé tout au long de l’ascension et nous a en même temps très bien encadré et rassuré. Il a pris l’initiative d’aller plus tôt en haut pour qu’on évite la queue à la phase de rappel.

Herbert

Great experience during 3 days of climbing adventures.

Paul

Great day on the Arete des Cosmiques. Roberto is a great guide. He is personable, professional and answered all my questions prior to my trip. He tailored the day appropriately to my level of experience

Anna

Changing dates on the website was a little bit difficult but Roberto and the route were fantastic! Was a stunning location to push myself, but still feel safe and supported to make the climb.

Karla

Roberto was an amazing guide. Not only did he select amazing routes but he was excellent about communicating different options for climbs and was incredibly safe and just generally fun to climb with !
