The Allalinhorn - Swiss Trekking Peaks

Alps mountain guides - Our summer alpine base is the attractive and traditional village of Evolène in the Val d'Hérens. The mighty Dent Blanche (4,357 m) towers above the village and the famous Matterhorn is only 25 km distant. As well as great local climbing on the Arolla ranges we can get to most of the great mountain centres within a 3 hours drive - Zermatt, Chamonix, Saas Fee, Zinal and Grindelwald are all within our compass. Evolène is an ideal base for beginner and expert alike. ALPS MOUNTAIN GUIDES
