With 21 peaks over 4000 metres, 24 above 3000, and three of the highest huts in the Alps, Monte Rosa is a vast playground waiting to be explored on skins. Wide slopes, shifting exposures, and light that changes at every turn — it’s a terrain that surprises you every single time.
Capanna Mantova and Rifugio Gnifetti are the beating heart of this high-altitude world, historic basecamps where legendary climbs begin and unforgettable days take shape. Here, among ropes, crampons, and early-morning laughter, a unique connection is born — the kind that only those who truly live the mountains can understand.

With our IFMGA-certified Monte Rosa mountain guides, we’ll look together for the best snow, the most elegant lines, and the right rhythm to enjoy every moment. Whether you’re learning or ready to push your limits, we’ll find the perfect spot for you to leave your own trace on the white canvas of the MonterosaSki area.

Because ski mountaineering Monte Rosa isn’t just a sport — it’s a state of mind. It’s about feeling part of the mountains, slowing down, breathing deeply, and rediscovering the essential beauty of a silent ascent and a descent that tells your story.
