Tour Monte Rosa Trail Hike

Blog

We are 3 novice hikers about to set off on the Tour of Monte Rosa Trail. We found it very difficult to find detailed and useful information prior to the hike so decided to make this website as we go along to help those who follow or to entertain those who don't. 

We will describe each stage of the trip. We will show you the hotels and huts we stay in. We will tell you whether our boots, backpacks, socks and bodies are up to the task. We will tell you how much things cost. We will tell you if the maps are any good, whether the trail is well marked and whether our phones GPS work in the mountains. All the things we couldn't reliably discover before we set off.

July 18, 2017 - 9 day hike, 162km, 13km of vertical, no experience...yet
Hiking the Tour Monte Rosa

About us

We live in Singapore and are regular visitors to Switzerland. However this is our first hike. We will let you know how we get on day by day. We are all basically physically fit and healthy prior to starting this tour. (left to right)

Archie: Aged 14. "I'm OK, I think I will win." 

 

Felix: Aged 19. "The last intense physical activity I did was when my friend challenged me to do 150 push-ups, sit ups and squats. I did it....but it took me almost an hour."

Matthew: Aged 52. "I've spent 30 years in office jobs and enjoy good food and wine. I do a bit of running and gym and the occasional triathlon so curious to know what the Swiss mean when they describe the TMR as "Strenuous""
