A circular journey around one of the Alps’ most iconic peaks: the Matterhorn.

Over three days you’ll traverse remote valleys, snowy passes, and breathtaking glacial landscapes. The Matterhorn Ski Circuit is a complete and intense adventure, designed for those who love ski mountaineering in a true high-mountain setting — combining authentic alpine huts, untouched nature, and unforgettable descents.

Guided by the Cervino Guides, you will follow a spectacular route between Italy and Switzerland, reaching the very heart of the massif and skiing down in total safety.

 

Detailed Program – 3 Days

Day 1 – Cervinia → Colle Château des Dames → Rifugio Prarayer

Meeting in Cervinia and equipment check. Ascent to Colle Château des Dames (3,488 m) in a wild and evocative setting, followed by a long and beautiful descent into Valpelline. Wide open slopes and deep silence lead to Rifugio Prarayer (2,005 m), set on the shores of Lake Place Moulin.

Overnight in a traditional mountain hut.

Day 2 – Prarayer → Rifugio Aosta

A steady, progressive climb into the heart of the Valpelline, beneath the mighty Grandes Murailles glacier. Arrival at Rifugio Aosta (2,781 m), a rustic and secluded hut surrounded by glaciers and steep rock walls. Dinner and overnight stay.

Day 3 – Rifugio Aosta → Tête de Valpelline → Descent → Zermatt → Cervinia

We set off at dawn for the ascent of the Tête de Valpelline (3,799 m). From the summit, an exhilarating descent awaits on the Stokji Glacier, leading into Zermatt. From here, we return via the lifts to the Klein Matterhorn before making the final ski descent back to Cervinia — with tired legs and a big smile.
