Great high-altitude tour to the highest mountain peak in Switzerland at 4633m
The Dufourspitze is a mountain of superlatives, it towers as the highest mountain in the Monte Rosa massif! After Mont Blanc (4810m) it is the second highest peak in the Alps, but its climbs are all much more difficult and longer than the trails on the roof of France.
You climb over the Rosaglacier to the "Sattel" (4,359m) and further over the Westgrat (II +) to the summit.
