Our recommendation:

• Good, sturdy footwear
• Possibly hiking poles
• Weather-appropriate clothing (always carry rain protection)
• Provisions and water

Additional equipment for glacier crossings: crampons, climbing harness, 1 rope per group of 4, suitable clothing

Reservation in mountain huts and mountain villages recommended.

The mountain world around the Matterhorn route offers breathtaking panoramas, small mountain villages, and a unique fauna and flora.

• Plan every mountain tour carefully and adapt it to your own condition, the weather, and the season.
• The weather can change rapidly in the mountains. Therefore, take suitable clothing and enough provisions and water. Turn back in time if the weather is uncertain.
• Inform a third party about the tour and, if possible, never go alone.
• Do not leave marked trails and do not venture onto glaciers without a mountain guide.
• Be considerate of other hikers as well as plants and animals.
• Observe warning signs that point out the constant danger in the riverbed and on the banks of watercourses below dams and water intakes.

Important! This is one of the demanding alpine hikes. Some stages include glacier crossings; we recommend a local mountain guide for these.
