If breaking away from clichés is your philosophy of life, then ski mountaineering on Monte Rosa is more than just a choice — it’s a natural calling.
When you’re on holiday in Alagna or Gressoney, the mountains seem to whisper that true freedom isn’t found on the pistes, but out there — where the snow is still untouched and the slopes turn into silence and space.
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.
The Monte Rosa guides, born and raised between Alagna, Gressoney, and Ayas, know every ridge, couloir, and hut as if it were their own home.
With them, you don’t just climb — you discover the mountain through the eyes of those who grew up here, who love it, and who live it with respect every day.
They’ll guide you with expertise, passion, and an authentic smile, sharing stories, traditions, and that natural warmth that makes every day on the mountain feel special.
More than a guide, it’s like having a mountain friend by your side — someone who knows where to find the best snow, when to pause for the view, and how to turn every descent into a lasting memory.
Because with the Monte Rosa mountain guides, the difference isn’t just technical — it’s human.
And in every turn, every laugh, and every step on the snow, you’ll feel that these mountains are truly a part of them — and for a while, of you too.
