Intermediate Matterhorn Trek

> Hike below the north face of the Matterhorn
> Spend the night in scenic mountain huts with glacier views
> All accommodations are pre-booked for you

The first time you see the north face of the Matterhorn up close, it’s not a view — it’s a moment. Towering above you like a stone pyramid torn from the sky, this legendary mountain sets the stage for five days of world-class trekking. But this trek isn’t just about iconic peaks. It’s also about those quiet morning moments at Trift, the glacier creaking in the valley below. Or sipping a hot drink at Gandegghütte while watching the light fade over Monte Rosa.

The Intermediate Matterhorn Trek is designed for experienced hikers who want the full alpine experience without technical climbing. You'll start at the historic Berggasthaus Trift and pass through high trails to Schönbielhütte, Hörnlihütte and Gandegghütte before finishing in Zermatt. With roughly 10 to 14 kilometers of hiking per day, you’ll earn every view — and every bite of hut-made rösti.
