Beautiful traverse with magnificent views, a few nice climbing sections and a magnificent firn ridge.
Technics
Endurance
The Mönch is enthroned in the middle of the glacier world of the Jungfraujoch and the Aletsch Arena. With magnificent views of the glacier world on one side and the foothills of the Alps and the green flatlands on the other, it offers a tour full of contrasts. The south-east ridge has a few nice climbing sections in the III difficulty ridge and with the current firn conditions, the summit is in fantastic conditions.
