As the highest peak of Monte Rosa, Dufourspitze (Punta Dufour) is a summit of generous beauty and classic aesthetics. It requires experience in mixed climbing and basic rock-climbing skills (III+). While not presenting overly high technical difficulties, the route is still challenging as it unfolds at altitudes above 4,500 m, demanding strict timings on passages that must be tackled both on the way up and on the descent back down. The setting is truly magnificent, overlooking the east face and Macugnaga; the extraordinary jagged ridge leading to the summit is a must-do for anyone wishing to prepare for climbing the Matterhorn or Mont Blanc. 

Please note: the ascent of Dufourspitze is intended for experienced mountaineers. Before accepting the booking, our guides will ask for your climbing resume and, if necessary, suggest a test climb to assess your skills and preparation. Since this type of climb requires stable weather and excellent conditions, we can only set a tentative date, which will then need to be confirmed in the preceding days. For this specific ascent, we cannot offer a rate inclusive of cable cars and mountain huts, which must be booked closer to the date once conditions have been assessed.

Period: From June to September
