Monte Rosa Circuit with Max King

Join trail running legend Max King on this adventurous circuit through Italy and Switzerland on the Tour of the majestic Monte Rosa, Europe’s second-highest peak.

Starting in Zermatt at the foot of the Matterhorn, the Tour Monte Rosa is a challenging and varied trail around the Monte Rosa and Mischabel mountain ranges. We love this trail for its wild rugged beauty, and for the different landscapes and cultures you pass through, from cozy Italian mountain huts, to famous Swiss ski towns like Saas-Fee. The route takes in several high passes, including the Theodule Pass at 3295m elevation, which is accessed via a glacier on the crossing from Switzerland to Italy.

We’re excited to have Salomon trail runner Max King, from Bend, Oregon, join us as a special guest on this tour. Max has consistently ranked as one of the top trail runners in the world. He has won the World Mountain Running Championships, stood on the podium at Chamonix’s Mont Blanc Marathon and set records at some of North America’s top ultras. Max is a driving force for Salomon’s global trail running efforts and a lead product tester directly involved in the development of new trail running shoes.
