Description
Known for its characteristic pyramid shape, the Matterhorn is a mountain above the city of Zermatt in the Canton of Valais. On this hiking program, I invite you to explore this famous mountain’s surroundings.
We’ll start our hike from Schwarzsee Lake and then follow a steep path to Hirli, the eastern ridge of the Matterhorn at 2,889 meters above sea level. Afterward, we’ll continue our hike to Hörnlihütte (3,260 meters). This mountain hut is located at the base of the Matterhorn.
From this point, we’ll catch outstanding views of the Mischabel Massif, the Monte Rosa, the Breithorn, and the Weisshorn. Please, consider that this hike has a duration of around 4.30 hours and requires a very good level of fitness.
If you find this hiking program attractive, do not hesitate to send a request to book your place. I’ll be happy to guide you around this fantastic area in Switzerland.

What people are saying about ES Adventure Guides
Peter
This was a great trip and Explore Share made finding the right trip super easy. Our guide was personable, extremely knowledgeable, and experienced and willing to teach us the skills we would have needed to climb the Matterhorn. Unfortunatly, the conditions were not right to climb so our guide recemmended another trip which was still a great experience and lots of fun.
Emma
Very user friendly platform with timely responses from Explore Share representatives. The trip itself with Tom from Alps Adventures was awesome and ensure that we had an experience that was 100% what we wanted. Recommend both the platform and the guide. Thanks to all for arranging and delivering so well.

I had am amazing time during the 1-day off-piste training course at Hoch-Ybrig. Urs, our main mountain guide, was very helpful in answering my queries before the course, and Lupe from explore-share was helpful in selecting the course. We had 3 groups under Urs, Mario and Patrick, and I was in the group with Patrick. He gave us a lot of nice tips and individualized video analysis. He made a special effort to convey everything in English, since I don't know German. All the participants were very helpful and friendly too! The course is good value for money as skis are included for the weekend in the course price.
