Tour du Cervin
A grand circuit around the Matterhorn linking six valleys and three cultures — German-speaking Upper Valais, French-speaking Central Valais, and the Italian Aosta Valley — crossing passes above 3000 m and two glaciers, including the Theodul Glacier, while passing through places like Zinal, the Lac de Moiry, Arolla, and Breuil/Cervinia. Along the way, more than 25 peaks exceeding 4000 m come into view, alongside working alpine pastures with intact flora and fauna and traditional villages carrying centuries of layered history.
