Days 3-4:

Hotel near Matterhorn

We will stay at a hotel at an altitude of 2600 meters. This wooden lodge with a restaurant has more than a century of history, a cozy interior, and its main feature – the location. That is why guests often book rooms half a year in advance, as the sunset and sunrise with a view of Matterhorn are included in the price.

Hiking to the Gorner glacier

By combining funiculars with walking descents and forest trails, we will reach an observation deck at an altitude of 3500 meters. From there, you can see the full glory of Matterhorn, Switzerland's highest mountain Dufour, and the vast Gorner Glacier between them.

Dawn at the lake

Wake up early to catch the sunrise near the lake near the hotel. We will sit on the bank, admire Matterhorn in the first rays of the sun, and drink hot tea with Toblerones.

Days 5-6:

Hiking along the Aletsch glacier

The Aletsch glacier is a 23-kilometer-long ice stream, the largest in the Alps. On clear days, the peaks of the Great Alpine Trio – Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau – tower above it at 4,000 meters, piercing the brilliantly blue sky.

Overnight in a mountain lodge

Our trail will first lead us through the sounds of cowbells, past picturesque overlooks of the glacier, and eventually bring us to an overnight stay in a mountain lodge – a wooden cabin amidst pristine alpine nature.

James Bond's Road

We'll drive along a zigzag route that was immortalized in the film "Goldfinger" (1964) - Sean Connery chased over this pass in his Aston Martin DB5. With breathtaking views of the Alps Uri, this is truly a thrilling few kilometers behind the wheel.

Ice tunnel

We'll explore a 100-meter-long ice tunnel that has been newly carved out of the thick ice of the Rhone glacier each winter since 1870, and which disappears by the end of summer.
