Description

First step is to collect audio guides before taking the Gornergrat Bahn cog train to Rotenboden. From here, the trail leads across the Gorner glacier to the Monte Rosa Hut (2,883 m). The hike of about four hours allows plenty of time to listen to nine stories about the climate, each lasting about five minutes.

  • Visitors can also listen to the climate stories on the train ride to the Gornergrat (without doing the hike)

  • Audio guides in German, English and French (deposit: CHF 50)

  • The guides can also be downloaded onto smartphones as a podcast, from klimahoerpfad.ch

  • The trail is classified as an alpine hiking T4 trail on the SAC scale

  • Crampons required
