Description

Zermatt – that is alpinism at the highest level. This hike goes onto the Zermatt balconies, over 35 hours on the trail. With overcoming around 7,000 meters in altitude up and down – this is a stage route with the highest experience value.

Where and when to stay overnight depends on the capacities and the hiker's desire. There is definitely a sufficient selection of hospitable mountain huts where the mountain adventure can be truly celebrated. The exciting thing is: the mountain landscape and the perspective on the surrounding four-thousanders changes continuously.
