Reaching the summit of the Matterhorn (4478m) is a dream for mountaineers from all over the world. The ascent of this iconic mountain is usually done in 2 days, but today I invite you to climb it and descend to the valley in just 1 day!
The Matterhorn stands on the border between Switzerland and Italy. We will ascend from the Italian side, from Breuil-Cervinia in the Aosta Valley, via the Arete du Lyon, or Lion Ridge. We will climb in an alpi trail mode, combining trail running and mountaineering, and making the approach with an e-bike.
In order to join this ascent you need to be extremely fit, with previous experience on long efforts, of at least 10 hours, as it is a really demanding climb. You also need to have previous mountaineering experience and technical skills.
Starting from Breuil-Cervinia (2006m), we will do the first part of the ascent by e-bike up to Rifugio Orionde (2802m). This way we can save energy for the more demanding upcoming sections of the climb.
Once in the Rifugio Oronde we will continue up to the Rifugio Carrel (3829m). We will ascend with trail running shoes and then we will change them by mountaineering boots. From the Rifugio Carrel we begin our ascent to the Matterhorn summit, following a demanding and challenging route.
Once on the top of this mythical mountain, the reward will be a great sense of accomplishment and some breathtaking views. Then we will begin our descend back to the valley by the same route.
If you find this proposal interesting, just send me a request. Book your trip and let’s start planning this amazing Matterhorn ascent tour. You could also have a look at my Aiguille de Tour and Gran Paradiso alpi trail mode climbs.

I was born in 1990 in Lus la Croix Haute, a small village nestled between the Vercors and the Dévoluy, and right on the border of 3 French departments: Isere, Hautes Alpes and Drome.
I started practicing mountain sports at a very young age: skiing first and then then mountain biking. At the age of 7, I started ski touring on the trail just above my house with my father and my sister. And then, a few years later, I gave my first steps in ski mountaineering: Pelvoux traverse at 9, Dome de Miage on skis at 10 and the Meije traverse at 12.
I've always enjoyed competition and started competing in ski mountaineering since I was very young. I've won Pierra Menta twice and the World Championship four times.
Becoming a mountain guide has always been my dream and I'm very happy to see it come true. I have also started paragliding recently and I hope to be able to combine it with my mountain guiding business one day.
I currently live in St Nicolas de Véroce in Haute Savoie. My father's family comes from this village and it is here that I learned to ski. It holds a dear place in my heart and it is here that I feel most at home.

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
