Description
A glance at the Zermatt 4000ers on FATMAP shows that a series of them are laid out in a perfect loop, and this loop of summits has become a classic mountaineering week known as the "Spaghetti Tour". The trip takes in some legendary peaks, high and wild mountain huts, and truly epic views.
The entire trip is through high and serious glacial terrain so good weather and conditions are absolutely essential; wait for a solid high pressure before attempting it. If the stars align and you get the right weather, conditions and partner, this is an utterly spectacular week of mountaineering.
Adventures
A relatively minor summit, but a 4000m peak nonetheless, surrounded by others.
A classic high traverse of a major 4000m peak
A condition dependent high altitude traverse over the shoulder of Lyskamm
A rapid collection of 4000ers all relatively easy and close to each other
A steady descent to the Punta Indren lift
