Travel Information

You can get a train from Zermatt to Rotenboden. The trail starts from that spot and is a wide and easily accessible path. At the end of this accessible path you continue walking straight little left to the Gorner glacier. At the glacier, there is an ascent. Over the big crevasses you cross the glacier. Crampons are necessary. After the Glacier leads the Panoramatrail to the first moraine you get into big rocks. After the secone moraine you go over some slate plates. Some ropes and step iron make the crossing easier. After the third moraine the Monte Rosa Hut is nearby.
