Description

Known for its characteristic pyramid shape, the Matterhorn is a mountain above the city of Zermatt in the Canton of Valais. On this hiking program, I invite you to explore this famous mountain’s surroundings.

We’ll start our hike from Schwarzsee Lake and then follow a steep path to Hirli, the eastern ridge of the Matterhorn at 2,889 meters above sea level. Afterward, we’ll continue our hike to Hörnlihütte (3,260 meters). This mountain hut is located at the base of the Matterhorn.

From this point, we’ll catch outstanding views of the Mischabel Massif, the Monte Rosa, the Breithorn, and the Weisshorn. Please, consider that this hike has a duration of around 4.30 hours and requires a very good level of fitness.

If you find this hiking program attractive, do not hesitate to send a request to book your place. I’ll be happy to guide you around this fantastic area in Switzerland.

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.
