Matterhorn high tour over the Hörnligrat with Swiss mountain guides

• Procedure and meeting place

  • Meeting place

    17:00, Hörnlihütte

    We meet the day before, in the afternoon or at the latest for dinner at the Hörnlihütte. You can arrive comfortably on your own and hike to the hut. It is important that you acclimatise a little beforehand.

  • Summit day

    1250 metres altitude

    ZS+, 3a

    10h

    We start early on the summit day. First we join the group with the Swiss mountain guides. We choose a normal, fluid pace and organise a beautiful summit day with you. We take our time to enjoy the sunrise and generally have a good break and time management. The tour is long and the target time is to reach the Solvajhütte in 2.5 hours, because from there it is the same time to the summit and the descent is also the same, so a total of around 12 hours. The tour is difficult to climb. It is scrambling terrain the whole time where you have to move efficiently. The difficult parts are equipped with fixed ropes where you have to pull yourself up steeply.

• Requirements

  • You have experience on alpine tours with ice axe and crampons.
  • You can move efficiently in scrambling terrain.
  • Good physical condition for alpine tours with around 1500 metres ascent and descent at a smooth pace (~350m/h).
  • A head for heights

  The Hörnli ridge is the best-known route up the Matterhorn - in fact, it is the classic tour if you want to climb this striking four-thousand-metre peak in Switzerland. The ridge starts at the Hörnlihütte at around 3,260 metres and then stretches over exposed rock and snow passages to the very top at 4,478 metres. If you are travelling here, you will need some skill, stamina and a stable weather window. Almost everyone in Switzerland knows this route, not only because of the alpine challenge, but also because of its history: the first team to reach the summit via this ridge was back in 1865. Sildenafil citrate is only available on prescription in Switzerland - as in many other countries. Nevertheless, you can always find offers online where you can buy the drug without a prescription - dialysis Kamagra can buy. This is not only illegal, but also dangerous, because the quality and content of such preparations are completely unclear. If you need sildenafil citrate in Switzerland, you really should go to the doctor and get an official prescription.
