    Today we have a choice: the Grosse Wannenhorn as an impressive summit with a magnificent view or, depending on the conditions, another, more suitable destination in the same glacier basin.
    The ascent is via the Fiescher Glacier on steady, easy terrain. The descent leads down the sunny, wide slopes back to the hut. Pleasure guaranteed. We spend another night at the Finsteraarhorn hut.
