Summit of the Breithorn on the Spaghetti Tour light

Highlights

The Spaghetti Tour light is a beautiful and easy crossing of the Monte Rosa massif at over 4000 metres. Over huge glaciers we reach easy 4,000m peaks and spend the last evening in the highest hut in Europe, the Margheritta Hut at around 4,500m! We experience the glacier world of Monte Rosa up close and can really enjoy the glaciated mountain world. A tour that will live long in the memory!

Tour

The Spaghetti Tour light is a 5-day alpine tour week on the glaciers of the Monte Rosa massif. We start the first day comfortably and train ourselves with crampons and ice axes. Then we start the traverse and go from hut to hut. The service is Italian, so primi and secondi and delicious coffee await us. Every day we experience something new. The Breithorn will be our first summit. After that, we experience the southern valleys and the view of the Monte Rosa massif from the south. In the last two days, we will climb further 4000 metres together and spend the night in the highest hut in Europe. What an experience! The descent takes us once again over an impressive glacier past the Monte Rosa hut and back to civilisation.

  • Rifugio Città di Mantova

    This accommodation is located above the Punta Indren ski area and is easily accessible. It serves as our starting point to reach the area of the highest hut in Europe. We deliberately choose this accommodation as it is cosier and more spacious than the upper one.
