"The Spaghetti Tour and Other Fine Peaks:" Climbing in the Alps
Phil Bates,
Sierra Club,
"The Spaghetti Tour" is what Swiss guides affectionately call the high mountain route from the Breithorn to Monte Rosa. The Monte Rosa chain contains the most concentrated cluster of 4000m peaks in the Alps. These peaks are located along the Swiss-Italian border above the mountain villages of Zermatt in Switzerland and Breuil-Cervinia in Italy. The name Spaghetti is gained from the fact that most of the high mountain huts reside in Italy, where pasta is the main dinner course. The other peaks presented are in the famed Mischabel region above Saas-Fe Switzerland.
The talk will be followed by a reception with free refreshments.
Alpine Club Talks are co-sponsored by the Sierra Peaks section of the Sierra Club.
