Description

Join me on this 3-day ski mountaineering tour around the Matterhorn , or Cervino(4087m), a truly stunning and mythical mountain. This short and challenging tour is an adventure only suitable for excellent skiers.

The majestic Matterhorn lies in the Monte Rosa area, right on the Italian-Swiss border. It is considered one of Europe’s most beautiful mountains, with four steep faces rising above the surrounding glaciers.

We will meet in Cervinia (2000m), an alpine resort in the Aosta Valley, in the northwest of Italy. From there, we will begin our climb to the Schombiel Hut (2703m).On the second day of the tour, from the Schombiel Hut, we will descend to the Prarayer Hut.

The Prarayer Hut is located in the high Bionaz Valley, surrounded by beautiful scenery, with glaciers, mountains, forests and lakes. It is at the heart of the Pennine Alps. Besides, the refuge has a restaurant and a bar with typical and delicious Aosta Valley food.

Finally on the last day of the tour, we will enjoy a wonderful 1300-meter run skiing all the way down to Cervinia. You can check the day-by-day itinerary below.

Mountain Guide

I have been working as a mountain guide for more than ten years, and I still love my job very much! The great mountains of the Alps are my favorite playground: Mont Blanc, Matterhorn, Monte Rosa and Gran Paradiso are my favorite destinations.

Great summer ascents and magnificent ski mountaineering tours in winter and spring.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
