Spaghetti Tour: dive into the history of mountaineering

The Spaghetti Tour 5 days adventure is one of the most iconic mountaineering traverses in the Alps, linking Cervinia to Gressoney across the majestic Monte Rosa massif.
Known among climbers as the Monte Rosa Spaghetti Tour traverse, this unforgettable route got its name from early English-speaking alpinists who stayed in Italian mountain huts and refueled with pasta and spaghetti after each climb.
Following part of the legendary Mezzalama Trophy route, one of Europe’s oldest and most prestigious high-altitude ski mountaineering races, first held in 1933, the Spaghetti Tour traverse combines history, adventure, and breathtaking alpine landscapes.
