Mount Cervino, or the Matterhorn, is the mountain I am most attached to, since I live in the Cervino Valley, and I am fortunate to be able to admire it every day and each time its pyramid shape moves me: it is the perfect mountain.
For years I’ve been a member of the historic Cervino Mountain Guides Society, founded in 1865 by the first mountain guides of that era, Jean Antoine Carrel and his associates…
I have climbed the “Gran Becca” dozens of times, following the two normal routes and more complex itineraries, like Schmid’s route on the Northern Face of Cervino.
The Normal Route from the Italian side, called Liongrat (Lion’s crest or “cresta del Leone”) is a unique journey in the history of mountaineering and each passage has a name, a history and an anecdote to be told.
I would be happy to accompany you to experience this ascent together, the dream of many mountaineers.
