Climb a Mountain

The Matterhorn, Switzerland

Arguably the most beautiful mountain in the world.

The Matterhorn is one of the most iconic mountains in the world which resembles a chiseled pyramid. The striking peak requires previous alpine experience, rock climbing ability, and good stamina. This mountain is a bit more than a walk in the park.

Adventure Base offer a 7 day trip where you will practice for a day on rocky aretes, 2 days climbing around and sleeping in a Torino hut, finishing with a night in the Hornli hut and a 4am climb up the Matterhorn.
