Alps
7 Days
Jun - Oct
Description
The beauty of Matterhorn is beyond comprehension. Discover always different sceneries, with dazzling, magic colours. Bathe in the history of the beginnings of mountaineering. Meet souls that will make you vibrate with emotion. Return home and say: I did it!
The Matterhorn circuit is one of my favourite hikes for the following reasons:
We walk from pass to pass
There is magic over the glaciers
Mama’s cuisine
The happiness when we discover the mythical pyramid
Meeting chamois and ibex.
You’ll find a detailed itinerary for this 7-day program below this description. We can hike around Matterhorn between June and October.
This hike is sustained, you need to be in good physical shape.
