Adventures to the Edge

   

Matterhorn (Cervin) Adventure - Zermatt, Switzerland

Climbing the Matterhorn....this incredible climb is worth every ounce of effort. Join Jean Pavillard, Internationally Certified Mountain Guide on his next trip. The Matterhorn offers the perfect alpine experience, with an early morning start, the first rays of sunshine illuminate the east facing slope. The exposure from the start to the summit offer great views. The rock climbing is interesting without being too difficult, just challenging enough, especially with crampons. The summit of the Matterhorn will remain engraved in your memory for the rest of your life. You will stand on top of this icon of a mountain, looking at the village of Zermatt plunged 9'000 ft. below you, with Italy on one side Switzerland on the other.
