Salbit south ridge
Classics in perfect Uri granite in the 5th degree of difficulty and breathtaking ambience!
The Salbit south ridge is a real classic - and for good reason: solid, rough Uri granite, spectacular towers, striking ridge passages and scenery that is simply impressive. Anyone who has ever been up there will understand why this tour is considered one of the most beautiful ridge climbs in the Alps.
The climbing is varied, airy, but never overtaxing - perfect scales, grippy cracks and plenty of friction ensure pure climbing enjoyment. The difficulties remain moderate and are mostly well below the maximum of 5b - ideal for anyone who feels comfortable in a solid alpine environment and wants to develop their climbing technique in the terrain.
This tour is far more than just a climb - it's an experience. A rope team, a goal, a ridge. And lots of granite that will make your climbing heart beat faster!
Procedure and meeting place
07:30 am Erstefeld railway station
If possible, carpool on to the GöschenertalOn the first day, we tackle the ascent to the cosy Salbithütte. There we get a taste of the mountain air and climb a short route close to the hut - perfect for familiarising ourselves with the rock and checking our equipment.
We set off early on the second day: with light luggage, in a good mood and accompanied by our experienced mountain guide, we tackle the south ridge. From tower to tower, we climb steadily up and down over airy passages, linked by short abseiling sections - always accompanied by the impressive backdrop of the Salbit.
After the summit we descend together to the hut and then on to the car park in the valley. If you wish, you can spend another night in the hut and then complete the descent in comfort on your own the next day.
