Lonely and adventurous | Grassen & Gross Spannort at Easter
Ski mountaineering with many metres of downhill skiing in lonely and wild nature!
In these two days we experience a lot of impressive nature, steeper couloirs, descents and glaciers. We cross the end of the Engelberg valley! We start from Titlis, start with the Titlis round tour, but spend the night in the uninhabited Grassenbiwak and cook our own food there. We continue with some ups and downs to finally climb the summit of the Bärenhorn and ski down the glacier on long and steep slopes back to the Engelberg valley. These two days offer you an unforgettable atmosphere in the Grassenbwiak, abseiling, descending and ski mountaineering in a small group. Together we will discover and cross the end of the Engelberg Valley!
- Additional option: It is also possible to book the tour including the ascent of Gross Spannort. The Gross Spannort is the mightiest rock in the region. It is climbed via the north ridge. From the ski depot, it takes around 1 hour of scrambling and climbing to reach the summit of Gross Spannort. This is only possible with 2 guests per mountain guide and therefore the variant with ascent of Gross Spannort costs 990.- for the two days. (Additional variant is fully booked for the time being, please contact us if you are interested).
