The Matterhorn Trek

Description
The trekking begins and ends in Zermatt. Along the entire route, one hikes far from civilisation from hut to hut. Along the path on either side are rare flowers and into the distance at eye level stretch the mountain giants including the Matterhorn with its awesome and terrifying north wall.
After each stage, a comfortable mountain hut awaits where the in-resident host welcomes the guests. These people know the mountain world around Zermatt exceptionally well and most certainly will have tales to tell.
The trekking offers different facets and five days of fascination in Zermatt’s mountain paradise.
- Do not forget a camera
- Gaze in wonder at many unknown sides to the Matterhorn up close and personal
- New Hörnli Hut opened in July 2015 in occasion of the 150 Years First Ascent of the Matterhorn
- As a long tour lasting several days in an Alpine environment, the Matterhorn Trek requires careful preparation.
-
New route: Due to construction work on the Zermatt - Trift route, the Trifthütte is reached via Schweifinen. The hike is extended by around 1.5 hours.
