What to do in a week around Zermatt

Next week the 2 ‘founding fathers’ of the Dutch Alpine Team, David and Melchior, will be in the Zermatt area in the Swiss for some climbing.

The plan is to climb at least one of the classic routes; the Taschhorn – Dom traverse.
Here’s some planning:

Friday 24/6
7:00 pm off to Randa (near Zermatt) (10 hours drive from Holland)

Saturday 25/6
Walk from Randa to the Täschhütte (2701 m)

Sunday 26/6
Climb Alphubel (4206 m) and then to Mischabeljochbivak (3847 m) to spend the night

Monday 27/6
Climb Täschhorn and then via Domjoch to Dom and then back to Randa.

The rest of the week we haven’t planned yet so if you have ideas? ;-)

Checkout this post for the result.

So whats up the next few months:

June 25 – July 3
David and Melchior will be in the Swiss alps to climb some mountains around Zermatt and also try the Taschhorn – Dom Traverse which is one of the classic alpine tours.

July 29 – August 8
Susanne, David and Melchior will be guiding a group of children with ADHD and/or Autism in the Schobergruppe (Austria) with a non-profit Foundation called Xmotion.
Every year some members of the Dutch Alpine Team commit at least one week to work as a volunteer for this organisation.

September 2 – September 5
The whole team will hopefully participate in the Mammut 150th anniversary called the The Biggest Peak Project in History. Also see this page about the project.
