Swiss 3000 Summits

Trip Program:

We will meet in the mountaineering Mecca of Zermatt and spend our first 3 days in this valley before driving round to Grimentz. We will use huts to gain height for our summits – these are generally smart huts with twin rooms and running water rather than the more basic high mountain just you might be familiar with. 

Our program is new for 2026 and potential summits include: 

Wisshorn – 2937m
Oberrrothorn – 3414m
Bella Tolla – 3025m
Le Touno – 3018m
Sasseneire – 3254m

WHO IS THE SWISSS 3000 WEEK SUITABLE FOR?

This guided alpine trekking week is suitable for any keen hillwalker who would like to enjoy a week of trekking on non-technical Alpine summits. 

The walk is non-technical and the majority is on good path, so is suitable for anyone fit enough for 5 days consecutive trekking. If you enjoy walking the mountains of the UK then you will love this trip. 

WHY USE EXPEDITIONGUIDE?

Our trips are run at very small group sizes and very low ratios. Whilst many companies work with one leader to every eight clients we prefer the added safety, the lower impact and the overall sense of fun in having 4 clients to each leader. I work with my good friend Sandy Patterson on these trips. Between us we have many years of practical experience in the Alps, we hold the International Mountain Leader qualifications and both work training the next generation of leaders.

GETTING THERE

You can get to Geneva from London quickly and easily on the train. Alternatively you can fly or drive out from the UK.

From Geneva you catch a train to Zermatt. As one would expect in Switzerland the whole journey is efficient and simple. Visit this website for timetable and prices: https://www.sbb.ch/en
At the end of the trek it is equally simple to return to Geneva from Grimentz.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE COURSE COST?

The course fee includes leadership and logistical organisation.

You will need to pay for your own flights and transfers to get you to Zermatt.

We will book the trekking accommodation prior to the trip and you will need to pay for it, together with your food and other expenses on a daily basis directly to the provider during the trek.

We are not set up as Tour Operators and so we don’t offer this trip as a Package Holiday. (If you prefer to arrange your own accommodation then that is fine).

Hut fees and hotels are generally about 140 Swiss Francs per person per night. You will need to arrange your accommodation for the nights prior to the trek and the final night. This gives people the flexibility to tag on days before and after the trek and to allows you to find accommodation that suits your own tastes and budget.
