Rösti Tour Saas Fee & Zermatt
Zermatt, Saas Fee, Macugnaga, Alagna, Gressoney, Champoluc, Cervinia are the main 7 villages of the main 7 valleys around the Monte Rosa: in this tour we discover all of them, with their traditions, culture and food.
The guides in Zermatt have named Spaghetti Tour the trip around the Monte Rosa Massif, because they spend most of the time in Italy eating spaghetti, so for us doing a variation of this tour around the Monte Rosa and spending most of the time in Switzerland it will be named Rösti Tour as we will be eating mostly this typical Vellese dish. We start from Alagna Valley and we reach Rima, where our accommodation, the charming Ristorante Alpino Hotel, will be a good surprise, then Macugnaga, Saas Fee, Zermatt, some of the more pretty and secluded villages at the beginning and the more famous of them at the end, where we can taste plenty of Rösti. But don’t worry as soon as we pass the border on the way back we will have a big plate of Spaghetti… and good Italian wine!
