Combined beginner alpine tour (rock and ice)

Are you an experienced mountain hiker and ready for your first high altitude tour? Then the beginner's high altitude tour to the Theodulhorn 3,469 m.a.s.l. and Furgghorn 3,450 m.a.s.l. is perfect for you! Our ZERMATTERS mountain guides will take you on this impressive border tour.

From Zermatt, you will take the cable car on an impressive panoramic trip over partly jagged glaciers to the Plateau Rosa station (CH / I border) at an altitude of over 3,400 metres above sea level. At the Swiss/Italian border you tackle the easy, rocky ascent to the Theodulhorn. The first summit is done – you then descend a few metres to the Furggsattel, where the ascent to the Furgghorn awaits you. Arriving at the 2nd summit, you are rewarded with a tremendous panorama around the Zermatt mountains. With the crampons, you descend via the Upper Theodul Glacier to the Trockene Steg, where the mountain tour ends.
