Description
Join me on this 3-day ski mountaineering tour around the Matterhorn , or Cervino(4087m), a truly stunning and mythical mountain. This short and challenging tour is an adventure only suitable for excellent skiers.
The majestic Matterhorn lies in the Monte Rosa area, right on the Italian-Swiss border. It is considered one of Europe’s most beautiful mountains, with four steep faces rising above the surrounding glaciers.
We will meet in Cervinia (2000m), an alpine resort in the Aosta Valley, in the northwest of Italy. From there, we will begin our climb to the Schombiel Hut (2703m).On the second day of the tour, from the Schombiel Hut, we will descend to the Prarayer Hut.
The Prarayer Hut is located in the high Bionaz Valley, surrounded by beautiful scenery, with glaciers, mountains, forests and lakes. It is at the heart of the Pennine Alps. Besides, the refuge has a restaurant and a bar with typical and delicious Aosta Valley food.
Finally on the last day of the tour, we will enjoy a wonderful 1300-meter run skiing all the way down to Cervinia. You can check the day-by-day itinerary below.

Peter
This was a great trip and Explore Share made finding the right trip super easy. Our guide was personable, extremely knowledgeable, and experienced and willing to teach us the skills we would have needed to climb the Matterhorn. Unfortunatly, the conditions were not right to climb so our guide recemmended another trip which was still a great experience and lots of fun.
Emma
Very user friendly platform with timely responses from Explore Share representatives. The trip itself with Tom from Alps Adventures was awesome and ensure that we had an experience that was 100% what we wanted. Recommend both the platform and the guide. Thanks to all for arranging and delivering so well.

I had am amazing time during the 1-day off-piste training course at Hoch-Ybrig. Urs, our main mountain guide, was very helpful in answering my queries before the course, and Lupe from explore-share was helpful in selecting the course. We had 3 groups under Urs, Mario and Patrick, and I was in the group with Patrick. He gave us a lot of nice tips and individualized video analysis. He made a special effort to convey everything in English, since I don't know German. All the participants were very helpful and friendly too! The course is good value for money as skis are included for the weekend in the course price.
