    The majesty of mountains is overwhelming and Castor is no exception. Brush up on your Greek Mythology to be fully prepared to see what you are looking at.

    Wonderful experience with my girlfriend and the friends. First time on Monte Rosa. Weather was good but not optimal, little bit windy. We waited for the wind to stop a bit, not summitted early. Recommended

    Classic Summit from Monte Rosa Range.
  • By Ralf Neumeister
    The Castor, an insanely attractive mountain that is fun. An airy ridge that is fun. But beware of strong winds. The view...just FANTASTIC
  • By Milan Jennison
    Small very aerial mountain with a steep climb and a very exposed stop! Lots of thrills for beginners! Very close to the refuge, it offers an easily accessible and well-surrounded ascent. Beautiful view with a feeling of work done when finished ;) Try it!
