Description

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.

What to expect

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.

What people are saying about this trip

Andrija

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
