MONT BLANC TO THE MATTERHORN A fabioulous trip in the heart of Switzerland. Could not imagine a better trekking trip. If you have not your mountainerring skills 100% trained, this is a chance to do so. The way is very challenging and demanding route. The peaks vary from 1800 to 2900m above sea level. Views are astonishing and breathtaking if you never visited Switzerland before. (I am on the 5th picture in the "images" section far right with the white-red cap. Dated August-September 2006)
The arrangements made were seamless. We had excellent accommodations, our luggage was transferred to the next night’s accommodation perfectly, and we found the GPS to be both accurate and very helpful. If the heat were not so intense, the trip would have been perfect. Still a 9.5/10!
MONT BLANC TO THE MATTERHORN Challenging walking and stunning scenery. I've done a few long distance hikes over the last few years, and would rate this as one of the best - with the Tour de Mont Blanc being the other one. The mountains in the alps are just more human-scale than the ones in Nepal - which I think makes them more attractive, and more accessible.
