Rising to 4,478 meters, the alpine peak of the Matterhorn is one of the world’s most dramatic and iconic summit.
Tackle the normal route of ascension via the Hornli Ridge in what is considered the dream mountain climb. With a long and physical ascent, where the high altitude plays a part, reaching the top is a rewarding challenge.
Yet conquering the classic peak is achievable for almost everyone. If you’re a mountaineering beginner and have a good level of fitness, then reaching the Matterhorn’s peak is definitely within your reach.
Follow a customised progressive preparation schedule designed specially for you. In order to gradually acclimatise, we’ll make test climbs to neighbouring peaks of 4,000 meters.
We will begin on the Klein Matterhorn peak in the Pennine Alps overlooking the town of Zermatt. An ascent to Pollux will take us to 4,092 meters. While another climb takes us to Breithorn, at 3,317 meters.
We’ll then traverse to the Horli hut at 3,260 meters before our ascent to the peak of the Matterhorn via the Hornli Ridge before a descent back to Zermatt.
Get in touch now to reserve your place in the great mountaineering club of those who have conquered the classic alpine peak of the Matterhorn.
Trip to Zermatt, take the cable-car to “Klein Matterhorn” and ascent of Pollux, 4092m altitude, 5h ascent. Overnight stay at the Ayas mountain hut in Italy, at 3394m altitude.
Ascent of the Breithorn and semi-traverse to the Theodule hut at 3317m. Overnight stay at the hut.

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
