Course reference : SM 4
OUR + : All our guides are very good teachers. They will be keen to help you progress individually during this Matterhorn course .
Climbing the Matterhorn is long (1200 meters from the hut Hörnli ) , physical and altitude amplifies these difficulties. To succeed, excellent physical condition is essential.
It is therefore essential to practice regularly climbing, having already made several rock climbing and mountaineering routes with crampons to master the basic techniques.
