Matterhorn Tour: 6-Day Alpine Trek and Breithorn Ascent

I invite you to join me, on an unforgettable 6-day alpine journey through one of the most stunning trekking circuits in the Alps: the Matterhorn Tour. This circular route takes us around the iconic Matterhorn (4,478 m), across some of the highest and wildest passes between the Swiss Valais and Italy’s Aosta Valley.

Over six full trekking days, we’ll cross dramatic landscapes, with passes reaching between 2,900 and 3,000 meters of altitude. We'll spend our nights in a mix of welcoming hotels and alpine lodges nestled in charming valleys surrounded by towering peaks — this region holds the greatest concentration of 4,000-meter mountains in the Alps.

To end the program "tout en beauté", our final day will include an ascent of the Breithorn (4,164 m), a glaciated summit located between Monte Rosa and the Matterhorn. It's one of the most accessible 4,000-meter peaks in the Alps, offering an extraordinary high-altitude experience and jaw-dropping panoramic views.

This is a more demanding and less crowded alternative to the classic Tour du Mont Blanc. The route is technically more challenging, with rugged alpine terrain, high-altitude crossings, and occasional use of fixed cables or ladders. On two of the stages, we will cross glaciers — a unique and exciting aspect of the journey. Luggage transport is included throughout the trip, so you can hike light and focus on the experience.

Group sizes are limited to a maximum of 10 participants to ensure a high-quality and personal experience. As an Alpine Aspirant Guide, I value genuine connection and careful attention to each member of the group. This program blends both trekking and mountaineering, designed with passion and a love for the mountains — ideal for adventurous souls who want more than a standard hike.

If you're drawn to wild and technically rewarding itineraries, this one is for you. And if you'd like to explore more adventures in the Alps, I also offer other exciting programs such as the Tour des Écrins and the Monte Viso circuit.

Let’s head to the high mountains and make this an unforgettable experience.
