Description 

Embark on an unforgettable 2-day ascent of the Matterhorn, the most renowned peak in the Alps.

Our journey begins in Zermatt, where we’ll take the lifts to Schwarzsee before making a short hike to the Hörnli Hut. Here, we’ll prepare for the next day’s climb and get some rest before an early start.

At dawn, we set off, scrambling immediately from the hut as we ascend the Hörnligrat. The route involves a mix of climbing and scrambling, leading us toward the summit in approximately four to five hours. Upon reaching the top, we’ll take in the incredible panoramic views before beginning our descent. The return journey, first to the Hörnli Hut and then to the valley, takes around six hours.

Don’t miss this opportunity to climb one of the world’s most legendary peaks. Book now for an exhilarating alpine adventure on the Matterhorn!
