jrace2 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Trip: Zermatt, Switzerland - Spaghetti Traverse ~ Italian Haute Route Date: 7/21/2011 Trip Report: I just finished an attempt to do the Spaghetti Traverse, which is also known as the Italian Haute Route. The weather in the alps has been a bit wet this summer and we were unable to connect it all, but we did get in some great climbing. I am coming back in two weeks to try again and will post details if we make it. This is a super amazing route with a ton of moderate climbing and the potential to climb 10-12 4000 meter peaks in 4 or 5 days.

Le Piston Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 John, thanks for sharing. It brought back great memories of my trip in 2005. Sorry you didn't get to summit Monte Rosa. The weather can be pretty fickle there...it prevented me from getting the Matterhorn and Lyskamm. The Spaghetti Traverse is certainly a peak baggers dream in an amazingly beautiful area. How was the new Monte Rosa hut? The old one was the worst nights sleep I ever had in the Alps! Good luck with your next try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
