Alpine Climbing, Hiking Easy, Moderate, Difficult
Zermatt is home to a dense collection of 4000 metre peaks and this is your guide to climbing 4 of the best. No guidebook to Zermatt's mightiest mountains would be complete without the Matterhorn, and that is in here alongside 3 other beautiful, high mountains.
The Dufourspitze is the highest mountain in the Alps outside the Mont Blanc region and the Zinal Rothorn and Obergabelhorn are amongst the most celebrated summits in Europe. All 3 are described here in detail.
If you've done a few easier peaks such as those in our Mont Blanc, Gran Paradiso and Saas Fee guidebooks, these 4 mountains represent a good step up into tougher and more committing ascents.
