Mon Roadbook app: designed for the self-guided trips, "Mon Roadbook" travel assistant guides you throughout your journey via a mobile application to download on your smartphone.
Prices indicated are calculated based on a limited number of seats available or for a departure in over 2 months from today. Once all prereserved seats are filled, or for reservations with a departure in less than 2 months, we might have to acquire seats for a higher price (depending on availability at the moment the reservation is made), which might result in the application of a supplement that increases the closer we are to the departure date.

Our trip

  • A journey that takes you within reach of some of the most beautiful 4000 meter peaks in the Alps.

  • Full immersion into the local mountain cultures of the Valais and Aosta valleys.

  • A first experience at high elevation, crossing over two glacial passes (Collon and Theodul) with a high-mountain guide.

  • Breathtaking views of the glaciers clinging to and tumbling down the north and south faces of the Matterhorn.

"Mon Roadbook" app is available for this trip.
More info >>

Along this fantastic high-altitude loop, marvel at so many stunning 3000m to 4000m peaks, walk through charming valleys whose lush green forests contrast with the glaciers and rocky terrain of Collon and Theodul passes. Enjoy circling the Matterhorn, "Cervino" in Italian, on a through hike that feels more like an expedition.
