Description

Join me on a mesmerizing ascent to Hörnli Hut starting from Zermatt mid-morning! I've been on Matterhorn summit more than 100 times, and during 2 years in a row I was the guide with most summits on summer season.

The Matterhorn (4,478m) stands as one of the most renowned mountains globally. Its fame stems from various factors, including its legendary, nearly flawless symmetrical peak, the encircling glaciers, and the four distinguished ridges dividing its steep faces.

If you've already conquered a notable array of 4,000-meter peaks, possess proficiency in navigating rock and ice terrain, and are well acclimatized, it's time to set sights on the grand challenge of the Matterhorn. While it remains a mountain of dreams for many, for you, it could soon become a thrilling reality.

Over the course of 4 days, engage in daily hikes lasting 6 hours each. This strategy guarantees that your body acclimates effectively to the high altitude surroundings, enhancing the safety and success of your summit endeavor.

This guided Matterhorn ascent is recommended between mid-July and mid-September when weather conditions are most favorable for a safe and successful climb.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you're intrigued by this captivating adventure. I'd be delighted to accompany you and share in the incredible vistas of the Alps.

Mountain Guide

I started climbing at the age of 12 with the Club Andino in Argentina. From these first weekends in the mountains I felt the passion growing in me, and knew from this start what I would do later on. The dream came true, I became a Montain Guide. Ever since I have been traveling around the world, always searching for mountains to climb; continuously surprised by sunsets and unique sunrises… For many years I guided arrownd Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre range, south of my beloved Patagonia. Now a days my playgrownd is moslty in the heart of the Alps and Patagonia. I try to make each experience special for my clients, adapting to your level and sharing this unique feeling. Come, live big!

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.
