High tour Obergabelhorn
High above Zermatt, in beautiful rock at over 4,000 metres
The Obergabelhorn high above Zermatt is a beautiful high tour to a prominent 4,000 metre peak. The tour includes everything, glaciers, scrambling in beautiful rock and an exposed firn ridge. We will start this tour in mid-August and leave it open to us whether we do the crossing via the Arbengrat or climb via the Rothornhütte via Wellenkuppe to the Obergabelhorn. This will depend on the conditions, if possible we prefer the Arbengrat. In any case, these will be unforgettable high-altitude touring days! Please also reserve the Friday for a possible descent or as a postponement date.
