A NEW HUT FOR THE MATTERHORN
ALPINISM
Although global warming has increased the frequency rockslides and other threats to Alpine structures, Zermatt recently inaugurated a new mountain hut, Lonza, along the austere Zmutt ridge. The much-needed shelter is rudimentary and modest, sleeping up to 8 people, but offers a very welcome refuge along this challenging route. Reservations available as of late February/early March 2023.
