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.

Mountain Guide

I have been working as a mountain guide for more than ten years, and I still love my job very much! The great mountains of the Alps are my favorite playground: Mont Blanc, Matterhorn, Monte Rosa and Gran Paradiso are my favorite destinations.

Great summer ascents and magnificent ski mountaineering tours in winter and spring.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
