The border runs along the summit ridge: the north side belongs to Zermatt, in the canton of Valais, <a href=\"\/switzerland\/\">Switzerland<\/a>; the south side belongs to Valtournenche, in Italy&#8217;s <a href=\"\/aosta-valley\/\">Aosta Valley<\/a>. There are two summits: the Swiss one at 4,478 m and the Italian one, with the summit cross, at 4,476 m. In Italian it is Monte Cervino, in French Mont Cervin.<\/p>\n<p>Two resorts sit at its foot: <a href=\"\/switzerland\/zermatt\/\">Zermatt<\/a> (1,608 m) on the Swiss side and <a href=\"\/aosta-valley\/cervinia\/\">Breuil-Cervinia<\/a> (2,050 m) on the Italian side. Zermatt is car-free: the nearest airports are Geneva and Zurich, about 3 to 4 hours away by train. Cervinia is about 185 km from Milan and 117 km from Turin by road. There is no road between the two resorts, but a cable car crosses the border at 3,480 metres.<\/p>\n<p>Most visitors come to look at the mountain, not to climb it: from the lifts, from the lakes that reflect it and from the trails around it. In winter it towers over 360 km of linked pistes in two countries. In summer people hike, and experienced climbers attempt the summit with a guide between July and September.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<style>\n#row-79357017 > .col > .col-inner {\n  padding: 30px 0px 0px 0px;\n  background-color: rgb(255,255,255);\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #row-79357017 > .col > .col-inner {\n    padding: 30px 40px 0px 40px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-236377529\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-569804011\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" style=\"margin-bottom:10px;\"><h2 class=\"section-title section-title-normal\"><b><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" >What to see at the Matterhorn<\/span><b><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_135114462\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-6-1024x577.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"What to see at the Matterhorn \u2013 Monte Cervino\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-6-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-6-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-6-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-6-2048x1154.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_135114462 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>The Matterhorn looks different from each side. These are the places to know before you choose where to base yourself.<\/p>\n<h3>Four faces and two summits<\/h3>\n<p>The Matterhorn is an almost free-standing pyramid with four faces (north, east, south, west) divided by four ridges: the Lion ridge towards Italy, the H\u00f6rnli ridge towards Zermatt, the Zmutt ridge and the Furggen ridge. From Zermatt you see the east face with the H\u00f6rnli ridge in profile \u2013 the sharp pyramid of the postcards. From Breuil-Cervinia you see the south face, broader and more massive.<\/p>\n<h3>Zermatt and the Matterhorn Museum<\/h3>\n<p>Zermatt is a car-free village at the head of the Mattertal. From the centre the Matterhorn rises above the rooftops. The Matterhorn Museum \u2013 Zermatlantis tells the story of the mountain and its first ascent, and displays the rope that broke in 1865.<\/p>\n<h3>Breuil-Cervinia, the Italian side<\/h3>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1977298195\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-5-1024x577.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Breuil-Cervinia, the Italian side \u2013 Monte Cervino\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-5-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-5-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-5-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-5-2048x1154.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1977298195 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>Breuil-Cervinia is part of the municipality of Valtournenche, at 2,050 metres. The Matterhorn faces the village, with the Lion ridge on the left. It is the starting point for the cable cars to Plateau Rosa and for the Italian normal route. See our guide to <a href=\"\/aosta-valley\/cervinia\/\">Cervinia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Schwarzsee and the H\u00f6rnli Hut<\/h3>\n<p>Schwarzsee (2,583 m) is a small lake right below the east face, reached by gondola from Zermatt. From here a trail climbs to the H\u00f6rnli Hut (3,260 m), the base for the Swiss normal route: 4.3 km, about 2 hours 15 minutes, 693 m of ascent. It is a difficult trail with exposed metal walkways, so you need to be sure-footed.<\/p>\n<h3>The Five Lakes Walk and Stellisee<\/h3>\n<p>Above Zermatt, between Blauherd and Sunnegga, the Five Lakes Walk passes Stellisee, Grindjisee, Gr\u00fcnsee, Moosjisee and Leisee: 9.8 km, about 2 hours 30 minutes, 165 m up and 454 m down. On a still day the whole Matterhorn is reflected in Stellisee.<\/p>\n<h3>Chamois and the Cheneil basin<\/h3>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_730317676\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-8-1024x577.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Towards Cheneil and the Matterhorn \u2013 Chamois\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-8-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-8-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-8-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-8-2048x1154.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_730317676 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>On the Italian side, further down the Valtournenche valley, <a href=\"\/aosta-valley\/chamois\/\">Chamois<\/a> is the only municipality on mainland Italy you cannot reach by car: you go up by cable car from Buisson. From the trails towards Cheneil and the chairlifts up to 2,470 m you see the Matterhorn from a distance, with far fewer people than in Cervinia.<\/p>\n<h3>The Tour of the Matterhorn<\/h3>\n<p>The Tour of the Matterhorn (Tour Matterhorn) is a multi-day trek around the mountain through Switzerland and Italy. According to Zermatt Tourism it is about 148 km with 13,000 m of ascent, around 60 hours of walking \u2013 usually about ten days. Some sections cross glaciers, such as the Theodul Pass, so you need experience or a guide.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<style>\n#row-236377529 > .col > .col-inner {\n  padding: 30px 0px 0px 0px;\n  background-color: rgb(255,255,255);\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #row-236377529 > .col > .col-inner {\n    padding: 30px 40px 0px 40px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-163167233\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-585776700\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" style=\"margin-bottom:10px;\"><h2 class=\"section-title section-title-normal\"><b><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" >Seeing the Matterhorn without climbing it<\/span><b><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n<p>You can get close to the summit without climbing in two ways: by lift (almost all year, except during maintenance closures) or at the lakes where the mountain is reflected. For Plateau Rosa and for crossing into Switzerland, carry a passport or national ID card.<\/p>\n<h3>Plateau Rosa and Testa Grigia (3,480 m)<\/h3>\n<p>From Breuil-Cervinia three cable cars take you up: Plan Maison, Cime Bianche Laghi (over 2,800 m) and Plateau Rosa, on the border at 3,480 metres. You are on a glacier, with the Matterhorn to the west and <a href=\"\/monte-rosa\/\">Monte Rosa<\/a> to the east. In winter 2026\/27 the foot passenger ticket (Explore Pass) from Breuil to Plateau Rosa costs \u20ac57 return and \u20ac36.50 one way; children born after 31 October 2018 travel free with a paying adult.<\/p>\n<h3>Matterhorn Glacier Paradise (Klein Matterhorn, 3,883 m)<\/h3>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_312828376\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/piccolo-cervino-1024x576.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Matterhorn Glacier Paradise (Klein Matterhorn, 3,883 m) \u2013 Monte Cervino\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/piccolo-cervino-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/piccolo-cervino-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/piccolo-cervino-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/piccolo-cervino.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_312828376 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>This is the highest cable car station in Europe, on the Klein Matterhorn (Little Matterhorn), open all year.

In winter 2026\/27 the Peak2Peak ticket, which also includes the Gornergrat, costs CHF 165.<\/p>\n<h3>The Matterhorn Alpine Crossing<\/h3>\n<p>Since 2023 you can travel by cable car between Zermatt and Breuil-Cervinia, via Matterhorn Glacier Paradise and Testa Grigia: 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours each way.

Luggage costs CHF 20 per piece. It is closed for maintenance from 7 September to 23 October 2026 and from 7 January to 26 February 2027.<\/p>\n<h3>Gornergrat (3,089 m)<\/h3>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1380002517\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Gornergrat-cervino-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Gornergrat (3,089 m) \u2013 Monte Cervino\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Gornergrat-cervino-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Gornergrat-cervino-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Gornergrat-cervino-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Gornergrat-cervino-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Gornergrat-cervino-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1380002517 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>The Gornergrat cog railway has climbed from Zermatt since 1898; the ride takes 33 minutes.

You can walk on to Riffelberg (trail no. 21, 3 km, about one hour).<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<style>\n#row-163167233 > .col > .col-inner {\n  padding: 30px 0px 0px 0px;\n  background-color: rgb(255,255,255);\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #row-163167233 > .col > .col-inner {\n    padding: 30px 40px 0px 40px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-646688784\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-458593186\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" style=\"margin-bottom:10px;\"><h2 class=\"section-title section-title-normal\"><b><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" >Climbing the Matterhorn<\/span><b><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1715679018\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-7-1024x577.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Climbing the Matterhorn \u2013 Monte Cervino\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-7-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-7-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-7-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-7-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cervinia-7-2048x1154.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1715679018 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>You can reach the summit, but it is not a hike: it is a serious alpine climb on rock and ice, with climbing above 4,000 metres. According to Zermatt Tourism, 300 to 400 guided clients reach the top each year, while about 3,500 climbers try without a guide and around two in three turn back. From 1865 to the end of the 2011 season, around 500 people died on the Matterhorn.<\/p>\n<h3>The Swiss normal route: the H\u00f6rnli ridge<\/h3>\n<p>This is the route of the first ascent. Climbers sleep at the H\u00f6rnli Hut (3,260 m, 150 beds), which must be booked months ahead on the <a href=\"https:\/\/hoernlihuette.ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hut&#8217;s website<\/a>, and set off at night. From the hut to the summit there are about 1,200 metres of ascent, with fixed ropes on the steepest sections. The Solvay Hut at 4,003 m is an emergency bivouac, not a place to stay. The descent is the most dangerous part, because of fatigue and rockfall.<\/p>\n<h3>The Italian normal route: the Lion ridge<\/h3>\n<p>It starts from Breuil-Cervinia or Plan Maison and climbs to the Rifugio Duca degli Abruzzi all&#8217;Oriond\u00e9 (2,802 m), then to the Capanna Carrel at about 3,830 m. It is harder than the Swiss route, with long climbing sections, fixed ropes and ladders. The Capanna Carrel has been rebuilt slightly lower in recent years because of rockfall: check its status and bookings with the Societ\u00e0 Guide del Cervino, the Cervinia mountain guides.<\/p>\n<h3>Guides, season and preparation<\/h3>\n<p>The best period is early or mid-July to mid-September; it is quieter in the first three weeks of July and from late August. In Zermatt a guide takes only one client on the rope, and the climb usually takes two days with a night at the hut. You need excellent stamina, good acclimatisation (climb another 4,000 m peak first) and experience with crampons on mixed ground. The Zmutt and Furggen ridges are harder still and rarely climbed.<\/p>\n<h3>The risks today<\/h3>\n<p>As temperatures rise, the permafrost thaws and rockfall increases. In summer 2026, after a winter with little snow, the Zermatt guides suspended guided ascents in July; in early August a rockfall on the south side at about 3,900 metres also stopped the Cervinia guides. Always ask the local guides about current conditions before you go.<\/p>\n<h3>The first ascent in 1865<\/h3>\n<p>On 14 July 1865 Edward Whymper reached the summit via the H\u00f6rnli ridge with six companions: Michel Croz, Charles Hudson, Lord Francis Douglas, Douglas Hadow and the guides Peter Taugwalder father and son. On the way down the rope broke and Croz, Hadow, Hudson and Douglas fell to their deaths; Douglas&#8217;s body was never found. Jean-Antoine Carrel, the Valtournenche guide who had been trying for years from the Italian side and was on the mountain that day, reached the top three days later, on 17 July, with Jean-Baptiste Bich.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<style>\n#row-646688784 > .col > .col-inner {\n  padding: 30px 0px 0px 0px;\n  background-color: rgb(255,255,255);\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #row-646688784 > .col > .col-inner {\n    padding: 30px 40px 0px 40px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-21819518\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2043502270\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" style=\"margin-bottom:10px;\"><h2 class=\"section-title section-title-normal\"><b><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" >Skiing below the Matterhorn<\/span><b><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n<p>The Matterhorn Ski Paradise links Zermatt, Breuil-Cervinia and Valtournenche: 360 km of pistes and 52 lifts, from a top point of 3,899 m down to 1,620 m.
