Tour of Monte Rosa (Alagna Valsesia) ยท ์ดํ๋ฆฌ์ ํผ์๋ชฌํ ์ฃผ (์ค์์ค ๋ฐ๋ ์ฃผ ์ ๊ฒฝ)
Location
Overview
The Tour of Monte Rosa circles the Monte Rosa massif (4,634m), the second-highest in the Alps after Mont Blanc, across Italy and Switzerland over roughly 10 days, passing through Walser German-speaking villages settled since the 13th century such as Alagna Valsesia and Gressoney. Passes such as Colle del Turlo (2,738m) offer close views of Monte Rosa's east face, and the route also connects toward Zermatt and Saas-Fee. It is more technically demanding than the Tour du Mont Blanc, with some stages crossing glaciated terrain that requires crampons.

Good to know
SafetySome stages near Zermatt and Saas-Fee cross active glacier terrain; unlike the TMB, a rope and crampons are recommended.
SeasonMid-July to early September is reliable; earlier dates risk unstable snow bridges over glacier crevasses.
ยทCable cars at Alagna and Zermatt can shortcut some of the toughest ascent/descent stages if time or fitness is limited.
MannersAlagna Valsesia's dark-timber Walser houses are centuries-old structures; respect posted private-property boundaries around the historic hamlets.
