Climbing Matterhorn (4478m) in 2 days

Climbing the Matterhorn is an exciting challenge for any mountaineer! It is not easy to reach the stunning summit of this famous Alps peak. On this 2-day ascent, I will happily guide you and help you to the top of the renowned Matterhorn! 

There are two traditional routes to the Matterhorn summit, one is on the Italian side, and the other on the Swiss side. We will begin our ascent on the Italian side. First we will head out from Cervinia to the Orionids hut. From there we will begin trekking to our overnight mountain hut. The first trekking day will be quite simple, and not to long. However, the next morning, the real challenge begins. We will set off early to reach the Matterhorn summit via the challenging Lion’s Ridge. This will be a technical ascent where we will need to use adequate gear to reach our goal. Once we have enjoyed the exhilarating victory of reaching the top, and the wonderful view, we will begin our descent. For this portion of the trip, we will take the Hornli Ridge on the Swiss side. This is a challenging route, usually less travelled.

For this excursion you will need previous mountaineering skills and a very good fitness level. The Matterhorn is a challenging climb and must not be underestimated. I also recommend you consider some prior acclimatization before setting off to this summit. Of course, I will at all times be there to help and guide you.

I also offer a 5 day program to tackle the Mont Blanc ascent that includes 3 days of acclimatization!
