Itinerary

DAY 1 / 6
D+
370m
Hosting
Refuge

We meet at 9.30am at the Matterhorn Terminal in Täsch for a briefing and equipment check-up. After this introduction, we'll take the train to Zermatt, then a gondola to gain altitude. Once at the top, we'll have a warm-up on the ski slopes.


In the early afternoon, we leave the slopes and ski tour across the Breithorn plateau (3800m) to reach the Teodulo hut, perched at 3300m, where we'll spend the night.


This first day is the perfect opportunity to acclimatise gently while enjoying the panoramic views of the Matterhorn and the surrounding peaks.

DAY 2 / 6
Night
Refuge
D+
1000m

On this second day, we begin our ascent of the Breithorn, a classic summit at over 4,000m offering breathtaking views of the Mont Rose massif.


We then descend to the Breithorn glacier before putting our skins back on to reach the Gorner pass. After a short break at the summit, we enjoy a memorable descent to the Valle d'Ayas guide hut. This evening, a typical Italian meal awaits us in a warm atmosphere.

DAY 3 / 6
D+
800m
Hosting
Refuge

We start the day with a 1,500-metre descent on the Schwarztor glacier: a glacier that is as impressive as it is technical, and we'll be keeping a close eye on it.


After a break to admire the scenery, we begin the ascent to the Cabane Monte Rosa. The glacier offers technical sections and exceptional views of Monte Rosa.


Once at the hut, we enjoy a dinner prepared by the wardens and take in the unique atmosphere of this high-altitude setting.


DAY 4 / 6
Night
Refuge
D+
1400m

After an early start, we climb either Pointe Parrot (4434m) or Pyramide Vincent (4215m), two emblematic peaks in the Mont Rose massif.


From the summit we have a clear view of the neighbouring peaks of the Zumsteinspitze, the Pointe Gnifetti and the Dufourspitze. The climb offers a good balance between technical effort and magnificent scenery. The pleasant descent allows us to enjoy ourselves before arriving at the Citta di Mantova refuge.


DAY 5 / 6
Night
Refuge
D+
1600m

Today we'll be climbing one or more 4000 metre peaks, depending on our fitness and what we've climbed the day before, in a star formation from the Citta di Mantova hut. We'll leave our rucksacks at the hut to lighten our load and set off for the Punta Gnifetti (4554 m), the Zumsteinspitze (4563 m) or the Pyramide Vincent (4215 m), depending on our physical condition and the weather conditions.

DAY 6 / 6
D+
1100m

From the Refuge Citta di Mantova refuge, we'll head for the Col de Lys, crossing the Lysgletscher at 4250m and passing the Naso del Lyskamm (4272m). From the pass we'll have a breathtaking view of the Swiss and Italian sides of Monte Rosa.


From the Col del Lys, we descend over the Lysgletscher to reach the Gornergletscher. This long descent passes under iconic peaks such as the Ludwigshöhe (4,342 m), the Pointe Dufour (4,634 m), and the Castor (4,223 m) and will take us straight to Zermatt.

Passionate about the mountains, I discovered climbing in the Bouches-du-Rhône before diving into ski touring in the Ecrins. Since then, I've explored various mountain ranges, from Mont Blanc to Dévoluy, in search of pleasure and sharing. For me, the mountains are all about human adventure and working together on projects.

Frequently asked questions

I don't ski, I snowboard. Is it possible to do this on a splitboard?

Yes, it's possible to do this trip on a splitboard. Just let us know when you book.

How comfortable are the refuges we'll be sleeping in?

This is an itinerant holiday, so you'll sleep every night in a comfortable Italian mountain refuge. You will sleep in shared rooms in single beds. There will be heating and electric sockets on site.

Will there be a telephone network on the route?

There is little network coverage on the route. Network coverage depends on your telephone subscription. At times during the raid you'll pick up a signal, but most of the time you'll be completely disconnected. Welcome to the great outdoors!

⛈ What happens if the metreo is wrong?

If the weather is bad but does not represent a danger to participants during the expedition, the activity will continue. If the weather becomes dangerous, the activity will be cancelled and replaced by an alternative offered by our professional guides.

What is included in the price of a DiscoveRent shipment?

At Wildhartt, we attach particular importance to price transparency for our shipments. Our approach is based on a clear breakdown of costs, aimed at providing a better understanding of the elements included in the total amount. Here's how we allocate the percentages:

  • 30% for our guides: We believe that our experienced guides play a crucial role in the success of each activity. That's why we make sure we allocate a significant proportion to pay for their expertise and supervision.
  • 35% for accommodation and food: We consider comfortable accommodation and quality food to be essential elements of an enriching experience.
  • 10% for equipment and transport: The safety and comfort of our participants is paramount. With this part of the total amount, we can guarantee that the equipment required is in excellent condition and adequate for each activity. Transport costs also come into play when they are essential during an expedition.
  • 25% for expedition participation and running costs: These costs cover the logistical, administrative and organisational aspects of the expedition, as well as the overall management of the experience, from start to finish.

Our aim is to provide you with a trustworthy, high-quality experience, while being transparent about how the final cost of your shipment is shared. If you have any further questions about our prices, please contact us here.
