    If you have time and alpine experience in rocky terrain, it is worth climbing up to the Hörnli Hut, possibly with an overnight stay, to try out hut life. It is fun even without climbing the Matterhorn.
    Unfortunately, the Hörnli Hut is often fully booked for months.

      Great place to enjoy some lovely food/beverages with magnificent and iconic views. The route leading up to the Hörnlihütte can be challenging if it is icy, so be prepared with the right equipment in any case.

        Far too busy, classic cable car mountain.
