Climb the Matterhorn – Alpine Expedition | Technical Mountaineering Adventure
Details
Ready to take on one of the most iconic peaks in the world?
Join us for an epic mountaineering challenge — Climbing the Matterhorn, the legendary alpine summit that has inspired adventurers for generations.
Located on the Swiss-Italian border, the Matterhorn (14,692 ft / 4,478 m) is one of the most recognizable mountains on Earth. This is a technical alpine climb requiring experience in both rock and ice climbing, excellent physical fitness, and proper acclimatization.

### 🧗 About the Climb
We’ll be taking the classic Hörnli Ridge Route, the most popular and historically significant path to the summit.
This route involves:
- Steep rock scrambling and exposed ridgelines
- Sections with fixed ropes for ascent and descent
- Traversing snow and ice fields
- Overnight acclimatization at the Hörnli Hut (3,260 m) before the final summit push
Typical Itinerary (subject to conditions):
Day 1: Hike from Zermatt to the Hörnli Hut for acclimatization and rest.
Day 2: Early-morning alpine start for the summit climb and descent.
