To the dates and registration

Together we spend four days in the ski touring paradise on the Gemmi. We spend the night in the Lämmerenhütte and enjoy great hospitality. We love the area around the Gemmi: impressive mountains, imposing peaks with magnificent views of the 4,000 metre peaks of Valais. The touring options are varied, with the Daubenhorn and Wildstrubel being the best-known peaks in the area and rewarding tour destinations. There are also secluded and hidden tours and traverses. We will choose the most rewarding ones and enjoy great touring days together. But togetherness is just as important to us, we are excited and full of anticipation to start the new year with you and spend four eventful days together.
