Matterhorn Peak Ascent (Guided)

For experienced mountaineers seeking the ultimate challenge, guided ascents of the Matterhorn peak are offered by certified UIAGM mountain guides. This is a highly demanding climb (requiring excellent physical fitness, prior climbing experience, and acclimatization), typically undertaken in summer months (July-September). The climb usually involves an overnight stay at the Hörnli Hut (not to be confused with Monte Rosa Hut). Guides provide specialized equipment and expertise for this iconic ascent. Prices are significant, typically CHF 1,200-2,000 per person for a 1:1 guide-to-client ratio over 2 days. This is an extreme activity and not for beginners.
