WHY THIS HIKE

The Spitzhorli loop from Simplon Pass

A Swiss Hike Among Alpine Meadows, Glaciers, and Tongue-Twisting Names

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

A classic winter ascent that transforms into a hidden gem in summer: the summit of Magehorn (approx. 2620 m), near the Simplon Pass, is a truly authentic Swiss experience. Expect lush green meadows, sweeping glacial panoramas, and a powerful silence broken only by the whistles of marmots.

We'll hike along an easy trail that's never too steep, our gaze constantly drawn to the most spectacular peaks of the Valais Alps: from Monte Leone to the Dom, to the more famous Matterhorn, and the lesser-known but exquisitely elegant Bietschhorn and Fletschhorn (just pronouncing their names makes you feel like you're at altitude!).

A hike beyond borders, but within the heart of the Guidders community, for those seeking picture-postcard landscapes at a relaxed pace with a backpack full of enthusiasm.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Stefano, an environmental hiking guide, and I've always had a deep bond with the mountains. From a young age I found in trails, woods and summits a place of freedom, discovery and connection with nature. Over time that passion turned into something more: the wish to share it. Today I take out people of every age and level to discover mountain country, passing on not only technical and safety knowledge but also respect for the environment and the pleasure of moving slowly, in tune with what's around us. I believe walking in the mountains isn't just physical activity: it's an experience that enriches whoever lives it, helping you find your own inner rhythm again and look at the world with new eyes. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
