Ice cave elopement IN Zermatt
When H & R contacted me about their wishes to elope in Zermatt in December I knew straight away that this is a couple that is not afraid of anything and that they are up for just about any unique adventure. And pretty soon we had a plan – the ice caves in Zermatt below Matterhorn!
On the morning of R&H’s ice cave elopement in Zermatt, we faced the daunting possibility of having to reschedule due to unexpectedly worsening weather conditions. Our mountain guide conveyed a 50% chance that the helicopter might not be able to take off. Despite this uncertainty, the adventurous couple, R & H, made a bold decision to proceed and try. Then embarked on a brief town tour for portraits, and headed to the heliport, ready to embrace whatever the day held. To our amazement, it worked! We successfully took off, navigating through the challenging weather to reach the ice caves at the base of the Matterhorn. Despite the storm, the couple had a beautiful ceremony, partially shielded in the ice caves from natures unexpected violence.
Originally planning to return using snowshoes, our plans took a turn. The robust wind had closed the gondolas, prompting us to be airlifted once again by helicopter.
Upon our return, we were advised not to ascend the mountain due to windy conditions. Trusting my instincts, we still moved on, and the result speaks for itself in the stunning photos. The wind ceased, the sun emerged, and a mystical cloud formation enveloped the Matterhorn, creating a truly blissful atmosphere for their moment with champagne and celebrations! This is mountain weather!
A heartfelt thank you to R&H for embarking on this wild adventure with me! It was an absolute blast!
Side note: Typically, taking a helicopter to the ice caves is not possible; we obtained a very special permission for this extraordinary experience.

KIND WORDS fROM THE COUPLE
Malin was phenomenal and I could not have asked for a better partner to make our adventure elopement perfect. Beyond her amazing photography skills which speak for themselves, she really supported us every step of the way and went above and beyond to bring a once in a lifetime experience to our day. She had great communication throughout the process, worked on plans A, B & C so we always felt comfortable and covered. Finally, outside of amazing photos, exceptional planning and communication, she was just a wonderful person to have with us on our day. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed and brought a great sense of fun as well. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
