Alps, Italy, Switzerland, hiking, Matterhorn

The iconic Matterhorn—or Cervino, as it's known in the German-speaking part of Switzerland—is a mountain that needs no introduction. From its 4,478-meter summit, it dominates the Zermatt Valley in Switzerland and the Breuil Valley in Italy. But on this tour, it's not just the Matterhorn that shines in all its splendor; many other four-thousanders, among the most beautiful in the Alps, will grace our landscape during the challenging hike of the Matterhorn Tour. From valley to valley, crossing passes and glaciers, we'll complete a nearly comprehensive tour of this magnificent mountain range. While no technical mountaineering skills are required, this tour is for experienced hikers who are well-trained and motivated to experience an exceptional week in the alpine mountains. For the crossing of the Arolla Glacier, we'll be accompanied by an Italian mountain guide.
