TMR – Tour of Monte Rosa 5 days
This program is a shorter vesion of the famous TMR – Tour of Monte Rosa. We will do 5 days of trekking around the Massif of Monte Rosa to reach most of the pretty villages and valleys surrounding the second highest mountain in The Alps. It is not only a trekking but mostly an incredible experience to discover culture and traditions of this remote area on the border between Italian and Swiss Alps. Walser comunities have been living in this lands mostly isolated for more then 1000 years: unique is the architecture of their buildings, the wise way of surviving the harshness of the climate and the severe and wild environment of the mountains.
