The next morning, we will start with our first acclimatization ride while we take in the stunning mountain scenery, towering peaks, and lush valleys. Later in the afternoon, we will go through the Aplice Crossing towards Zermatt, a beautiful alpine car-free resort town in the Valais canton of Switzerland.

On the third day of our trip, we will continue riding through the incredible scenery of Zermatt, surrounded by impressive peaks such as Monte Rosa, Breithorn as well as the iconic Matterhorn. Then we will reach Theodulo Refuge, at an impressive height of 3317m! Once there, we'll stay in a typical Monte Rosa mountain refuge with the most incredible view of the Alps.
