Monte Rosa Trek
The ultimate hike including glacier crossing in the Matter valley – home to the highest peaks in the Alps and surrounded by imposing glaciers. This circular tour leads through unique nature. From the Alpine metropolis of Zermatt through larch forests, along various high-altitude trails, past the most beautiful mountain lakes and over the mighty Gorner Glacier to the architecturally unique Monte Rosa Hut. This is the four-day Monte Rosa Trek - a highlight among experts. The start and end of the trek are in Zermatt. The trek can be booked as a self-guided tour or with guided glacier trekking on day three and four (If you would like to book a guided tour, please contact Zermatt Tourism at info@zermatt.swiss after completing your booking. Guided tours can be arranged for an additional fee).
Day 1 Ascent via Sunnegga, Tufternalp to the Täsch Hut at 2,701 m
Hut warden: Renata Schmid
She used to earn the money for her Himalayan expeditions at the Täsch Hut in the Valais. In the meantime, Renata Schmid has exchanged her ice axe and rope for a frying pan and mobile phone - as hut warden at 2,701 metres.
Day 2: Via the Pfulwe to Grindjesee lake and Grünsee lake to the Mountain Lodge ze Seewjinu at 2,300 m
Hut wardens: Tamara Casile-van den Berg and Giuseppe Casile
Tamara Casile-van den Berg from the Netherlands and Giuseppe Casile from Italy met in Zermatt in 2001 – he worked in the kitchen, she behind the bar at Gitan Zermatterstübli. From this meeting grew not only a shared future but also a deep connection to the mountain world and hospitality. After many years in Zermatt’s gastronomy – Giuseppe, among other roles, as head chef at Hörnlihütte, Tamara at the reception of Hotel Bella Vista – they have been working together since 2018 at Mountain Lodge ze Seewjinu. Since summer 2025, they have taken over the roles of hut warden from Kurt and Stéphanie Lauber-Major. Tamara and Giuseppe’s three children, Iris, Letizia, and Roan, also spend a lot of time at the lodge and are often present there.
Note: Crampons for the rest of the tour can be obtained from the Ze Seewjinu Mountain Lodge. Standard hiking boots (category B) are OK to use with the crampons.

Together with Kilian Emmenegger, snow pro and hut assistant for many years, he has been running the internationally renowned Monte Rosa Hut for three years.
