Want to reach the summit of one of the tallest mountains in Switzerland? Then join me on a 2-day trip in Randa, Switzerland as we climb to the top of Dom, the tallest peak in the Mischabel Range, and enjoy an awesome mountaineering adventure.
Nestled in the Alps and sitting tall at 4,545 meters, Dom is an impressive mountain. Climbing this mountain is not technically very difficult but physically it is a huge challenge.
To begin our trip, we’ll meet at Randa and from there we’ll hike to Rifugio Domhutte. This will be our home for the night. We’ll get to bed early because the next day we’ll rise bright and early, at 3 am to be precise, to begin our journey to the summit.
Day two is where we face the most difficult conditions. We’ll be traversing a glacier and climbing over very rocky and snowy terrain. The final stretch to the summit is difficult but worth it for the awesome views of the Alps and the peaceful, solitude at the top.
We’ll then descend, this can be done on the same day. However, you can do it in more time if you need to.
Across the two days, we’ll make a vertical gain of 3100 meters. This is not an easy mountain to climb. You’ll need to have previous mountaineering experience and a good level of fitness to take on the challenge.
This is an awesome experience you don’t want to miss, get it touch today to save your spot.
And if you’re interested climbing the mother of all mountains Mont Blanc, check out my 3-day trip.
We’ll meet in the morning in Randa in the Zermatt valley and hike for 1500 meters to the Rifugio Domhutte.
Our wake up call will be early and we’ll set off at around 3 am. We’ll traverse moraines and glacier. Then we’ll reach rocky ridges before arriving at the snowy and icy terrain that will lead us to the top. The descent will be via the same route. If you are tired you can split this descent across two days.

Paolo was a fantastic guide! He is kind, friendly, efficient, fast and yet slow enough so that I could keep up with his pace. Everything that he does on the mountain, every single move, every single step, it radiates confidence! I felt completely safe being guided by him and without him, I would never have been able to realise my dream of many years - that was to climb Dom. Thank you again Paolo Kindest regards Andrija
