Matterhorn 2-day ascent via the Italian-Swiss route

How can it be possible to ascend a mountain from one country and when descending, be in another one? The answer is simple: climbing the Matterhorn via its Italian-Swiss integral route!

Matterhorn is an emblematic mountain of the Alps. With an interesting history behind and a powerful pyramid shape, it is a unique peak that every mountaineer wants to try at least once in life.

There are two normal routes to touch the summit of Matterhorn. One begins on the Italian side and is the Leone Route. Its starting point is in Cervinia, passing through the Carrel Hut (3829 m) until reaching the summit. The other route is on the Swiss side and starts in Zermatt. It is called the Hornli Route.

My idea is to go up via an integral route that starts on the Italian side towards the summit and descends along the Hornli ridge. Although it is a much more demanding choice, it is an uncrowded route ideal to fully enjoy the journey and its landscapes.

Anyway, any of these routes can be our plan b if weather does not help or if the mountain conditions are not good. In that case, we’ll go up and down by the same way.

To join this 2-day expedition you must have a prior acclimatization, which is not included. Read more details of the itinerary at the bottom of this page.
