A superb touring itinerary into Monte Rosa
Ski Touring Moderate
Reaching Punta Parrot is a classical tour in Monte Rosa range. This peak has a beautiful ridge to walk that offers one of the most beautiful views on Monte Rosa and on the valley underneath. Furthermore while skinning to arrive there you have the opportunity to score, in a day, a lot of 4000m peaks that are on the way up to Punta Parrot.
Although it's a relatively non technical tour be aware that you're on a glacier! Crevasses could be open and you need to cross some. So technical skills and equipment are required!
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
