Allalinhorn 4027 m Allalin Ostgrad
Ascent: 2,5 hrs
Descent: 1,5 hrs
Price per person: 200.- CHF (min. 3 Pers.)

Equipment: climbing harness, crampons with antibott, a skiing or hiking pole as well as hiking boots, wind proofed and warm clothing, possibly gaiters, gloves, beanie/hat and sunglasses

One of the easiest 4000m peaks in the Alps. Some regard it as a training tour, others take it on for acclimatisation and for quite a few others it is a real holiday highlight. As always, we lead you safely to the summit. Take the railway to the Mittelallalin at 3500m. The 500 metres up to the Allalinhorn are relatively easy to master. The panorama that includes up to 60 4000m peaks can hardly be surpassed.

Allalinhorn Ostgrat 4027 m

Ascent: 3,5 hrs
Descent: 1,5 hrs
Price per person: 255.- CHF (min. 3 Pers.)

Equipment: ​climbing harness, crampons with antibott, ice-axe, a skiing or hiking pole as well as hiking boots, wind proofed and warm clothing, possibly gaiters, gloves, beanie/hat and sunglasses

A very popular tour that is not too demanding. The point of departure is the Hohlaub/Metro-Window at 3200m. The trail leads you along an impressive snow ridge. Before reaching the summit, conquer a short, but interesting, rock climbing tour.

Allalinhorn Nordwand 4027 m
Ascent: 3 hrs
Descent: 1 hrs
Price per person: 345.- CHF (min. 2 Pers.)

Equipment: ​climbing harness, crampons with antibott, ice-axe, a skiing or hiking pole as well as hiking boots, wind proofed and warm clothing, possibly gaiters, gloves, beanie/hat and sunglasses

There is hardly a more demanding and at the same
time fascinating way to reach the summit. If you
would like to learn how to handle two ice picks and
won’t shy away from a 50 degree face, then you’ve
found the right tour. If you master this North Face,
then you’ve got what it takes to tackle more demanding
faces.

Weissmies 4023 m Weissmies
Ascent: 3,5 hrs
Descent: 2 hrs
Price per person: 250.- CHF (min. 3 Pers.)

Equipment: ​climbing harness, crampons with antibott, ice-axe, a skiing or hiking pole as well as hiking boots, wind proofed and warm clothing, possibly gaiters, gloves, beanie/hat and sunglasses

If you managed the Allalinhorn then you are ready for Weissmies. After the cable car trip to Hohsaas at 3100m the actual ascent can begin. The trail leads over craggy Sércas and imposing glaciers up to the summit. The fairy tale view is yourreward, spanning from the Monte Rosa to Bernina. The Ticino Lakes and Italy greet you in the distance.

Lagginhorn 4010 m
Ascent: 4 hrs
Descent: 2,5 hrs
Price per person: 270.- CHF (min. 3 Pers.)

Equipment: ​climbing harness, crampons with antibott, ice-axe, a skiing or hiking pole as well as hiking boots, wind proofed and warm clothing, possibly gaiters, gloves, beanie/hat and sunglasses

This route will entice you with its varied terrain. It is the ideal first stage of rock climbing tours. The starting point is the Hohsaas mountain station at 3100m. From here the trail leads over glaciers, rocks and snowfields. A good 900m altitude must be negotiated before a breathtaking panoramic view opens up before your eyes on the rocky summit.

Alphubel 4206m
Ascent: 4 hrs
Descent: 2,5 hrs
Price per person: 270.- CHF (min. 3 Pers.)

Equipment: ​climbing harness, crampons with antibott, ice-axe, a skiing or hiking pole as well as hiking boots, wind proofed and warm clothing, possibly gaiters, gloves, beanie/hat and sunglasses

The funicular leads up to the Mittelallalin at 3500m. Here begins the ascent to the Feejoch at 3826m. A short, easy climbing tour to reach the Feekopf. The trail to the summit leads over an aesthetically formed Eisnase (ice nose) and requires a good measure of fitness. The ascent is over another, not less varied, route. The glaciers that you cross here are of impressive beauty. The descent leads to the Längfluh funicular station.
