Description
The Matterhorn valley in the Alps is one of the most famous and beautiful destinations in the entire world!
Join us and spend four incredibly scenic days exploring the valley on foot. Over the course of the trip, we will enjoy various incredible views, climb up a 3.000 meter high mountain and pass the famous Stellisee, the iconic lake beneath the Matterhorn.
The fun begins after we’ve picked you up from the airport and driven to Randa. From here, we will hike on the Europa trail to the famous Europahut, which sits at 2.000 meters above sea level and has lovely views of the surroundings.
The following day, we will hike along the Europaweg to the Täschalp, crossing the 500-meter long Charles Kuonen suspension bridge – the longest in the world – in the morning, before hiking into the Täsch valley. Here, we will spend the night in another cosy mountain hut, enjoying views out over 3.000-meter high mountains and glaciers.
The third day, we will head out on a more serious adventure, departing Täschalp and hiking toward Pfulwe peak (3.313 meters). We will begin by hiking up to Pfulwepass, with the option to continue on to the summit or not.
From both the pass and the summit, we will have great views out over the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa, among many other mountains. After taking in the view, we will hike down to the Stellisee, before ending our day in Zermatt.
On the fourth and final day of our trip, we will enjoy a nice hike along Edelweiss traverse, taking in some more great views before returning to Zermatt and transferring to the airport.

Explore Share has excellent customer service. Able to provide quick response to all my questions. They were able to find a good guide for me, Leo,who is very experienced in bouldering and knows Fontainebleau like the back of his hands. I strongly recommend any beginner to look for Explore Share if you wish to experience bouldering in Fontainebleau.

We really enjoyed our Via Ferrata tour with Willie! He explained everything very well, from how to set up and use the equipment to what to expect during the climb. He explained in detail how the safety features work as well as what to be careful for in terms of falling and the dangers associated with them. And the dangers associated with them. We had a ton of fun, and my daughter who was afraid successfully completed the course as well as the shorter more challenging routes at the end. On top of everything, Willie took some really nice pictures of us! We would 100% hire him again to take us on another Via Ferrata or even just a regular climbing outing.

Leo is a great person overall. He can share wast amounts of knowledge about the forest and the climbs. As an excellent teacher, he will help you enjoy the climbing session to the max!

Our group had a great experience. Most of us were at Font for the first time so this was a great intro. The guide was helpful and even offered to drive us back to Paris rather than us having to take the train. Some coordination info on the website was unclear but I was able to chat with a representative online to get it sorted. Only regret was not signing up for the full day experience!
