I'm doing a hut to hut tour around the Monte Rosa massif next week with plans to climb the normal routes on the Breithorn, Castor, Pyramid Vincent and Signalkuppe. I know there's been a lot of snow this year which seems to be hanging around (and being added to?) but I was wondering if anyone had been up there recently and knows how conditions are? Thanks.

I was there last week and climbed all of those except the Breithorn. Lots of snow - and ski tourers - but by our last day on Friday it had consolidated into fantastic neve. The traverse of il naso is in great condition - steep but good snow (rather than ice) on the west face and a deep easy track on the east side. Corno nero by contrast was 50-degree ice.

Have fun!

Many thanks for the info. Now I just have to hope for some stable weather!
