The Spaghetti route is an impressive but certainly demanding high-altitude crossing in the Valais, where twelve peaks over 4,000 m are climbed. Vast glaciers, narrow ridges, and exposed climbing sections make the route from Klein Matterhorn to Dufourspitze and then down towards Gornergrat a high alpine undertaking only recommended for experienced mountaineers.
