Mountains have always been drawn in the shape of a triangle with the top pointing towards the sky … the Matterhorn<\/strong> is considered the perfect mountain<\/strong> and it is just like that: it stands isolated<\/strong> from the rest of the mountain range in the enchanting Valtournenche<\/strong>, it represents the dream<\/strong> of many climbers who would like to reach it at least once in their life<\/strong>…<\/span><\/p>\n

The Matterhorn Rock climbing<\/strong>
<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

The Matterhorn Rock climbing is possible from two sides<\/strong>: the Italian one called “Cresta del Leone<\/strong>” and the Swiss one called \u201cCresta dell\u2019Hornli<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Until 1865<\/strong> the Matterhorn was considered impregnable<\/strong>, legends were telling about the presence of evil spirits and mountain demons until the British climber Whymper managed to conquer it through the Swiss route. Whymper had tried in vain to persuade his friend Carrel\u00a0several times\u00a0to attempt the ascent of the Matterhorn from the Swiss side.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

When he was informed that Carrel had already started towards the summit of the Matterhorn via the normal Italian route, he decided to leave Zermatt to attempt the climb through the Swiss route. Whymper arrived first<\/strong>, but during the descent the first four climbers of the\u00a0roped party plummeted. Both routes<\/strong> for the ascent to the Matterhorn were opened<\/strong> and from that day thousands of climbers dream<\/strong> of reaching the summit of the Matterhorn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cresta del Leone: the normal italian route<\/strong>
<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

The normal Italian route is more difficult to climb<\/strong> than the Swiss one, despite the difference in height. \u00a0You move on more technical terrain<\/strong> where you need to be prepared to act with ease and overcome difficulties quickly.<\/p>\n
