Climb the Matterhorn (4,478m) from the Italian side via the Cresta del Leone, 2 days

Majestic and iconic, the Matterhorn (4,478m) is an incredible symbol of the Alps. And, on this 2-day expedition, I would like to guide you to the summit of this great peak.

By way of the Cresta del Leone on the Italian side of the mountain, we will make our ascent. The ascent, while not overtly difficult, does have some tough spots. As a result, it is important that participants have prior climbing experience on rocky terrain, as well as experience with crampons. Furthermore, you should be in good physical condition as well.

On the first day of the trip, from Cervinia, we will climb to either the Plain Maison at an altitude of 2,500 meters or make our way to the Duke of Abruzzi refuge at 2,800 meters. From there, we will go to the Carrel hut, where we will spend the night. We will be climbing for approximately 5 hours on the first day of the trip.

On the second day of the trip, we will climb for approximately 5 to 6 hours to the summit of the Matterhorn. After you’ve enjoyed the unbelievable views from the summit, we will descend either by the same route we ascended or along the Hornli ridge.

Climbing the Matterhorn is an experience you will never forget. To enjoy it for yourself, all you have to do is send a request.

I also offer a 2-day ascent of the highest peak in the Alps: Mont Blanc, which you can enjoy here.
