Engaging in mountaineering is inherently perilous and carries the potential for severe injury or fatality. All Monte Rosa guides hold UIAGM certification and are dedicated to taking every possible measure to mitigate risks. It’s crucial to acknowledge that while efforts are made to minimize dangers, complete elimination of risk is unattainable and must be acknowledged before participating in any of our groups.

Monte Rosa guides are committed to assisting you in achieving your objectives and ensuring a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Nevertheless, it is imperative that you place trust in their unquestionable judgment while navigating the mountains and be prepared to respect and accept any decisions they make. Adequate preparation and maintaining a minimum standard of physical fitness are essential to uphold a sufficient safety margin during mountaineering ascents.

In the event that, due to your physical condition or any other reason, your guide determines that you are not prepared for the ascent to Monte Rosa, suitable alternatives will be offered.
