Get a taste of the Alpine Spirit in the Swiss Alps

After you have checked in to your accommodation, we do kit checks and also collect hired equipment including ice axes, crampons, harness and helmet. Overnight stay at Saas Grund or in proximity.

We take the cable car in the morning to Kreuzboden and do the steady hike (1 - 2 hours) to the Weissmies Hut taking in sights of the Lagginhorn and the Weissmies amongst the glorious Alpine views. We settle into the Hut, grab lunch and spend the afternoon relaxing, enjoying the Alpine scenery and acclimatising. Dinner at the Hut is a lovely communal setting where you can meet other hikers and climbers using the hut as base for their adventures. Overnight stay at the Weissmies Hut.

After breakfast at the Hut, we'll descend back down into the valley, head to lovely Längfluh which has terrific views of the Mischabel group and have fun practicing mountaineering/glacier skills including walking with crampons, ice axes and rope handling in the glacier. We'll then head back down the valley and the evening is free for you to look around the beautiful little villages and prepare for summit day with a good night's sleep. Overnight stay at Saas Grund or in proximity.

After an early breakfast, we drive to Saas-Fee where we take the lift to the Mittelallalin which is the starting point for our goal to reach the Allalinhorn's summit at 4027 meters. We rope together and start the climb of 570 meters with some terrific views all around to reach the stunning summit. After the proud summit pictures, we then descend and chill at the highest revolving restaurant in the world. The ascent and descent will take between 4 - 6 hours. We then take the lift back down and it's time for the celebration evening with an included fondue meal (other options available) and drinks at a local restaurant. Overnight stay at Saas Grund or in proximity.

After a good night's rest, we drive to Zermatt and take the Gornergrat railway to get you stunning views of the legendary Matterhorn. You will have the chance to learn about the mountain's formidable reputation, it's first conquest, why it draws Alpinists to its precipitous ridges/faces and also learn about Alpine landscapes. We then arrive back down to Zermatt to finish your adventure with some fabulous memories and inspiration for further adventures in the mountains!
