Description
Climbing the Matterhorn (4,478m) is a dream come true for any enthusiastic mountaineer. And, on this 6-day adventure, you will get to climb to the summit of this legendary peak.
Along with the climb of the Matterhorn, there will also be plenty of instruction and technical and physical training throughout the trip.
Our trip will begin with cliff training on a small rocky ridge in the Cogne valley. This training will help prepare you for the climb to come.
On the second day of the trip we will visit the Pousset Point by the East Ridge in the Cogne Valley, where we will do further training.
For day 3, we will visit the Giant’s Tooth. Once there, we will climb to approximately 4,000 meters on the incredible Mont Blanc Massif. This will help you with the necessary acclimatization.
The fourth day of the trip will be a much needed rest day. On day 5, we will climb to either the Carrel Hut or the Orionde Hut. And finally, on the sixth day of the trip, we will make our way to the summit of the Matterhorn, where you can enjoy some truly spectacular views of the surrounding peaks, before we make our way back down.
Participants on this trip should be experienced climbers in extremely good physical condition.
Climbing to the summit of the Matterhorn is an experience you will never forget. To join me on this amazing 6-day expedition, all you have to do is send a request.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
