WHY THIS HIKE

Sunrise Cima Longhede + breakfast

Wake up in the dark, headlamp on, sky still black. That's how you conquer Cima Longhede.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Torgnon at around 5:30 am, when Torgnon is still asleep and the stars are the only light. We climb through woods and pastures as the darkness slowly fades, up to the wide, panoramic ridge that opens onto our destination. The route is an out-and-back: we climb at a steady pace, arriving just as the sun rises from behind the Matterhorn, lighting up the whole valley. Along the way, we pass the remains of an old stone mountain hut, now in ruins, a silent witness to those who lived up here before us.

5 reasons to come - the sunrise seen from 2405 meters, with the Matterhorn lighting up first - the wide, panoramic ridge, a natural balcony over the Alps - a delicious breakfast made with local products - 360° views of the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa

Who it's suitable for You need trained legs and a willingness to start early: the elevation gain is noticeable, but there are no technical sections. Perfect for those who want to experience the mountains in a special moment.

Book your spot: we set off together with the Guidders, before the sun rises.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Héloïse, a mid-mountain leader in summer and a ski instructor in winter. I was born in Briançon, in France, and moved to the Aosta Valley in 2022. After a university path in natural sciences and botany I taught in school for 10 years: that's why my outings aren't just walks, but proper journeys into the alpine environment. I work both in the Aosta Valley and in France — Queyras, Briançonnais, Ecrins — and having two sides of the same massif is a luxury I enjoy all year round. I love new experiences and sharing them. I speak French, Italian and English, so the group can be as mixed as it likes. 🏔️ See you in the mountains, Guidders!
