The Idea
This custom-designed 5-day, 4-night itinerary is made based on my local expertise to fully immerse you in the magic of this steep, narrow valley. You will traverse secluded trails alongside iconic spots, surrounded by chamois, ibex, and whistling marmots, while eagles and bearded vultures soar overhead. The journey culminates with an unforgettable night at the Hörnli Hut, perched on the Matterhorn’s ridge, before descending into the village of Zermatt. Deigned with passion and love of the mountains at the hart.
