Overview

The Matterhorn is one of the most recognisable and exquisitely beautiful mountains in the world, a must do mountain on any Alpinist’s tick list! The aim of this course is to climb via the Hörnli ridge from Zermatt after acclimatising and training on peaks in the Chamonix Valley, after which three days have been set aside to attempt the Matterhorn. This climb is very dependent on the weather forecast and the conditions prevailing on the mountain, if it is not possible or your guide feels you are not ready for the climb you will climb an alternative and suitable peak.

Suitable for:
Those with a sound alpine background and who have a good level of fitness, are surefooted and able to
move quickly on scrambling terrain and have some rock climbing experience to at least Severe to Hard
Severe standard and Scottish Grade 2 winter climbing
Guiding ratio 1:2 in the initial days and then 1:1 for the Matterhorn

Itinerary

The Programme may be adjusted in order to make
the best of the weather and provide the best chance of
success on the Matterhorn, for example the ascent
may be made early and other routes done as a follow
up. This kind of flexibility is not possible on our
extension options.
