Stunning hut circuit between the glaciers and peaks of the Matterhorn / Monte Rosa area. Partly in Switzerland, partly in Italy. Physically a bit heavier than the Tour du Mont Blanc, but technically achievable for anyone with mountain hiking experience.
Facts
Region: Switzerland (Valais) and Italy (Aosta Valley and Piemonte)
Type: loop hike, can be started from many places.
Length: 173 km over 11 days
Elevation gain: 10,000 meters
Difficulty: almost entirely on classic mountain paths. Short section on glacier. Hiking technique Level 3 out of 4. Physical Level 3 to 4 out of 4.
Commitment: if the hike needs to be aborted halfway (due to bad weather, for example), it is either complex or very expensive to get back to the starting point.
Period: best July / early August. The huts are open from mid-June to mid-September. In June, there is still a lot of snow. Late in the season, rockfall risk is an issue on some stages.
