WEISSMIES & MATTERHORN
The Weissmies, with its 4023m, stands out in the East of Valais, forming a last major bastion."Mies" means foam... "weiss", white. Chantilly cream or beer... decide for yourself! The easier itinerary is the south face. To finish, the Hornli ridge, and its famous passages. Although it is not very technicallly difficult, the length of the climb and the altitude - from 3000m to 4478m - rank it among the most serious of journeys. Getting to the top of this unique and historic mountain makes for an intense and privileged moment. It is most certainly one of our most beautiful alpine stages, a growing success!
