Overview
Hike from Italy to Switzerland on a trail to the Staldhorn Peak. After leaving Arona, you’ll travel by car to the Simplon Pass, then hike for up to two hours along a steep, yet easy, route to the summit’s cross. Take in the sweeping mountain vistas that stretch over the Swiss Alto Vallese, and then return to your waiting transport.
- Half-day hike to the Staldhorn Peak in Switzerland
- Travel to the Simplon Pass to start your scenic mountain hike
- Walk to the summit cross and have your camera on hand
- Enjoy lunch on the mountain (own expense)
- Rest your legs with transport to and from Arona
Start your day with a pickup from your hotel in Arona. Alternatively, meet your guide near the Arona station. When your group is together, you’ll take a ride up to the Simplon Pass, the highest point of the trail that cars can access. A quick stop is included so you can purchase food for lunch.
From the Simplon Pass, you’ll hike for up to two hours to the Staldhorn Peak, which sits at an altitude of 8,077 feet (2,462 meters). The route is steep, but it lends itself to the camera-worthy scenery of the Swiss Alto Vallese, typified by glaciers and mountains. If you hike in the summer months when there’s little chance of snow, it may be possible to hike to the higher Spitzhorli peak instead. Speak to your guide if you're interested.
Stop for lunch, then hike back down to the Simplon Pass where your transport awaits. Your tour finishes at the start point in Arona, or with a drop-off at your hotel.
