Klein Matterhorn - Zermatt

Klein Matterhorn

High altitude precautions...

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.
