With the Matterhorn overlooking our every move, we'll be moving on the border between Switzerland and Italy.  After five days traversing one of the most important massifs in the Alps, we'll finish on Monte Rosa's Dufour Peak (4634m).  On the way there, we'll have climbed 9 emblematic summits each over 4000m.  Castor, Pollux and Liskamm are just some of the peaks whose airy aretes and glaciers we'll be exploring.
