Mattertal and Saas Valley 1-day alpine climbing tours

The Mattertal and the Saas Valley probably have the most incredible four-thousand-meter peaks in the Alps. However many of them are little-known, almost hidden gems. Those who have had the opportunity to participate in these one-day tours have been surprised by the diversity of routes available.

I have therefore planned some daily programs both in Mattertal and Saas Fee. That way you can live in first person the sensation of being part of such an amazing landscape.

All of them will take no more than half a day. Please find below all the options you can choose in this region.

Alpine climbing tours in Mattertal

It's the easiest and shortest tour and one of my favorites. Moreover, it is a suitable climb for mountaineers who want to gain some experience on the rocks. The route consists of a exposed ridge with tricky passages. I will guide a group of up to 3 guests. Price: 550 CHF per person.

SPARRU – FESTIHORN (3248 M)

It's a harder and more technical multi-pitch route. It is a perfect alpine climb for well-trained climbers who want to enjoy a good challenge climbing a wall in Mattertal. The group size cannot exceed 2 participants. Price: 690 CHF per person.

LEITERSPITZEN (3409 M)

A really high altitude climb in a wild and solitary surrounding. You'll have the opportunity to climb above the Täschalp. It's a private tour. Price: 800 CHF per person.
