Mountaineering coaching level 1 | Almagell - Weissmies - Lagginhorn

During these high-altitude touring days, we work together to expand our knowledge and skills in high-altitude touring - and put them directly into practice on varied tours. The region around the Weissmies offers ideal training terrain, grippy granite for scrambling and fantastic glacier tours. On the first two days, we refresh our knowledge and deepen it through practical exercises and shorter application tours. Afterwards, the programme includes the crossing of two easy 4000-metre peaks - a perfect opportunity to apply what we have learned to real-life touring. We start at the Almagellerhütte, where ideal training terrain and the best granite await us. From here we cross the Weissmies - depending on the conditions via the classic south ridge or the somewhat more challenging Rotgrat (SW ridge) - and descend to the Hohsaas mountain hotel. There we enjoy a well-earned shower before planning the next tour together. On the last day, the Lagginhorn is on the programme - either as an ascent via the west ridge or as a traverse via the Fletschhorn and north ridge. The descent is made easier by the mountain railway from Hohsaas.

This alpine tour coaching is aimed at anyone who already has some experience of alpine tours (e.g. from a basic course) and would like to deepen their knowledge in the areas of tour planning, rope handling and application tactics. We will be travelling in three rope teams - with plenty of room for individual coaching and learning together as a rope team.
