Summit of the Galenstock

Uri, Furka Pass

The Galenstock towers high above Andermatt and beckons with the best granite, clear mountain air and impressive views. Our destination is the elegant south-east spur - one of the most rewarding routes on this proud summit. Together we climb over the glacier to the start, before a varied climb in the third degree of difficulty awaits us. The route offers everything that makes a classic high-altitude tour: airy ridges, glaciers and firn and marvellous climbing sections in solid granite. At the summit, we are rewarded with a first-class panorama - with views far across the Uri and Valais Alps. As a day tour, the undertaking is somewhat longer, which is why a solid level of fitness and enjoyment of extended days in the mountains are important. If you fancy a real high-altitude tour with a climbing character, this is the right place for you!
