Climbing the Wildhorn

Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from June 21 to October 20, as well as on other dates on request, climb the Wildhorn, the region's emblematic peak. Climb independently to the Cabane des Audannes, where you'll spend the night. Your guide, Gérald Mathys, will join you there for the second day, when things get serious! After an ascent in an almost lunar atmosphere, you'll don your harness and crampons to climb the glacier to its highest point at 3,250m.

You don't need to be an experienced mountaineer to attempt this climb. If you're a good walker, well guided, you won't have any major difficulties. However, it takes a good 5 hours to reach the summit and return to the hut.

This experience costs CHF 265 per person. A minimum of 4 people is required. The price includes half-board (dinner, overnight stay and breakfast) and the mountain guide's fee. Reservations must be made by 5.00 pm on the Wednesday preceding the weekend of the ascent.

Bookings directly with Gérald Mathys on +41 79 220 43 77 or wildhorn3250@gmail.com
