We enjoy Easter in the Monte Rosa region. Thanks to the small Matterhorn cable car, we start high up and immediately immerse ourselves in the impressive world of the great glaciers and high mountains of Zermatt. We will spend two nights in the magnificent Monte Rosa hut, from where we will embark on the most rewarding tours.
