High altitude ski tour | Allalin and Strahlhorn
Vast glaciers and high mountains - on skis at over 4000 metres!
Technics
Endurance
Ski touring and mountaineering on 4000 metre peaks is the best combination. It's simply fun to climb over the snow-covered glaciers at dawn, reach a proud summit and then glide back over the beautiful slopes and flat glaciers. In these 2 days, we will take you on two great ski mountaineering tours to over 4000 metres and show you what to look out for and how to behave on the glaciers and ski mountaineering tours. We meet in Saas-Fee and, thanks to the cable cars, can immerse ourselves in the high mountain world right away and start with the tour to the Allalinhorn. We then spend the night in the beautifully situated Britannia hut. We set off early the next day and head across the wide glaciers to the Strahlhorn. With these good conditions, we can ski down to the Mattmark reservoir after the Strahlhorn. A descent of around 2000 metres awaits us! From there we can take a taxi back to Saas Grund or Saas Fee.
