Zermatt Warnings Or Dangers
 Sort by: Most Recent | Best Rated | Author's Order

Warnings Or Dangers: High altitude precautions...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Chi va piano, va sano e va lontano... (Who goes slowly, goes safetly, goes far)

    Don't forget to acclimatize before going on up to the Klein Matterhorn (3'800m). Please bear in mind that you need plenty of fluids and time to acclimatize when you are at an altitude of over 9,840 feet / 3,000 meters.

    You will avoid headaches or dizzy feelings.

    Clothing tips:
    Warm clothing, a windproof jacket and solid footwear are a must, whatever the time of year. And, of course, don’t forget your sunglasses, sun cream and your cap/hat at these high altitudes.

  • If you're going skiing/surfing off-piste or climbing. Please respect the local regulations and read the avalanche bullettins.

    Keep in mind that nature is always stronger than humans, so keep humble.

    In case of emergency call 117

    Warnings Or Dangers: Crevasses Danger
  • Tip Rating:

  • Respect the local signs, especially if you are skiing on the glacier.

    Pay attention that crevasses could be hide by a fresh snow cover, so stay on the beaten path... and avoid to dissappear in the heart of an Alpine Glacier.
