Your will meet the guide day day prior at Hörnlihütte, which is at the foot of the Matterhorn. You will go through your equipment and the plan for the next day, before you tuck in for an early night. Early next morning (around 3-4 am depending on season), you will start your climb up the Matterhorn. It features steep and rocky climbing, that is exposed for almost all the way. You need to have your focus locked in for the entire climb. The climb is direct and challenging, leading you to the summit ridge and of the Matterhorn. The climb typically takes 8 to 10 hours for both ascent and descent. Once you reach the summit, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views across the Swiss Alps. Being fast is a key component, as you don't want to be stuck in traffic or return too late. Thus, the guides will give you very little rest to ensure you're fast on the way up.
Once you've reached the top, you'll be able to sit down, have a moment of rest, and take some pictures - this is a special moment and will be the proof of your hard work. You'll then descend together with the guide, with a mix of belaying and climbing.
We only work with UIAGM/IFMGA-certified mountain guides, who are eligible to take clients up the Matterhorn. They will lead the tour, support you along the way, and give you commands and directions on what to do at the different stages.
You need to be acclimatized and very fit for this tour, or the guide will call off your climb. We recommend doing preparation climbs beforehand with the guide. This will increase the chances for a safe and successful climb.
