Matterhorn (Cervin) Tour - 5 Days - Zermatt, Switzerland
|
Tour description:
This is a short tour, but it gives the participants just enough time to acclimatize and train on two peaks before ascending the Matterhorn . This is the minimum to insure success.
If you feel you need more practice and/or if you do not have all the skills necessary I suggest the 7 day tour. It will give you more time to learn all the necessary techniques and become more familiar with alpine climbing style.
