Monte Rosa is the highest mountain in Switzerland, and is surrounded by alpine scenery so glorious we’ve named it one of our favourite hikes in Europe. This craggy, snowcapped mountain massif has four summit peaks - the highest one is Dufourspitze, named after surveyor Guillaume-Henri Dufour. It’s inspired artists (including Leonardo da Vinci, who ventured onto its slopes) and has a rich climbing tradition - the first recorded ascent was in 1778.
