Today’s guest is Craig Dickson, a keen hiker who’s completed long-distance routes all over Europe — from the West Highland Way and Alta Via 1 to the Tour du Mont Blanc. But in this episode, he takes us to Switzerland and Italy for something a little different: the Tour of the Matterhorn, often mistaken for the Haute Route.


In this episode:

  • Craig explains how the Tour of the Matterhorn compares to the better-known Haute Route.

  • Why the first day felt like walking through a movie — wildflower meadows, glaciers, and perfect weather.

  • The terrifying second day when a thunderstorm forced them to take refuge under a boulder.

  • What life’s really like in Alpine huts — from shared dorms to cheese sandwiches.

  • The moment they turned a corner and saw the Matterhorn reappear at the end of their loop.

  • Why Craig calls this route “Europe’s hidden gem” and who it’s best suited for.
