This unforgettable Alpine journey links two of the most iconic peaks in the Swiss Alps—Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn. Over several days, you’ll hike from the lively mountain town of Chamonix to the picture-perfect village of Zermatt, following high trails, remote passes, and glacial valleys.
The journey takes you through some of the most scenic sections of the Alps, from the panoramic Grand Balcon Sud overlooking Mont Blanc to the quiet and rugged Turtmanntal Valley. Along the way, you’ll pass turquoise lakes like Lac Blanc and Stellisee, cross high alpine passes such as Meidpass, and visit striking natural landmarks like the Glacier du Trient. The trip ends with a ride on the legendary Gornergrat Railway—one of the most scenic mountain trains in the world, offering jaw-dropping views of the Matterhorn.
Designed for experienced hikers, this route blends famous trails with lesser-known gems. You’ll stay at huts like Fluhalp and Hotel Weisshorn, as well as comfortable valley hotels where you can relax and recharge.
We take care of the logistics so you can enjoy the experience without worry. Your accommodation is booked in advance and you’ll receive a detailed hiking handout with maps, route notes, and our personal tips.
*Please note: While public transport fees are not included in the price of this tour, rest assured - your digital guidebook will include clear information on where and how to purchase tickets, along with timetables and route guidance to ensure a smooth journey.

We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)


Daja Gorišek was the travel agent from here who meticulously organised the trek all the way from Meiringen to Lenk im Simmental. She took care of all the details -- from planning the actual trek route, the detailed GPS map for each stage, to the hotels. The actual experience was entirely consistent with what was promised.


Our 3 day hike had to be rearranged 2/2 weather, so a one day hike was arranged for us. We appreciated the concern about weather and conditions. Our hike was with Matevz, who was a great guide. Very helpful and knowledgable. Would definitely recommend and will be back for a longer hike one day!
