The Lobhörner traverse is one of the really great scrambling tours above Lauterbrunnen. The beautiful rock can be enjoyed in the 3rd and 4th degree of difficulty and you can constantly marvel at the mighty 4,000 metre peaks of the Bernese Oberland. The traverse of the small and large Lobhorn is easy to grip and simply brilliant. Depending on your mood, you can also lead climb yourself or if there is a difficult section, the mountain guide can easily defuse it. Thanks to the small Isenfluh cable car, the ascent and descent is shorter and we can experience a great round tour!

Jörg-Andreas

Many thanks for this great tour over the Lobhörner in beautiful late autumn conditions. I felt very comfortable under the competent guidance of Philipp Bührer. He gave us clear information about the difficulties and challenges of this tour, as well as background information (climbing and belaying techniques, panorama, etc.) and we were able to build up trust quickly. This created a relaxed but always serious atmosphere.
