at the summit. Here you can enjoy a view beyond compare
over the eastern face of the Monte Rosa, the highest
in the Alps. The descent is via the same route. |

| Dom 4545m from Domhütte |

| The Dom hut will be rebuilt in the summer of 2012. For this reason the Saas-Fee mountain guide office organizes no tours up to the Dom. |
Ascent: 6 hrs
Descent: 3 hrs
Price per person: 425.- CHF (min. 3 Pers.) |
| After spending the night in the Dom hut, the trail leads
you over glacier moraines and the Festi glacier in the
early morning, until it finally reaches the foot of the
Festijoch. After a short climb, you cross the Festijoch
and reach the Hohberg glacier. After an initially flat
then steep route you can climb to the highest summit
completely on Swiss soil: the Dom. From here all
the surrounding mountains appear dwarf-like. The
descent is via the same route. |
