Bernese Oberland - Finsteraarhorn hut
The Bernese Oberland is one of the great classics of the alpine ski touring world. Mighty glaciers, wide open spaces and the backdrop of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau give you the feeling of really being in the high mountains. This three-day crossing takes us over the Jungfraujoch into the heart of the Aletsch region and on into Valais. With great descents and impressive summit options. We will spend two nights in the modern Finsteraarhorn hut.
Procedure and meeting place
We meet on the Jungfraujoch, right by the first coffee bar after arriving from the train. After being greeted by the mountain guide, we start our tour together.
A leisurely start over the Jungfraufirn to the Grünhornlücke. From there, we glide down wide slopes towards the Fiescher glacier and ascend to the Finsteraarhorn hut.
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.Finally, we climb over the Oberaar- and Studerfirn to the Galmihorn or one of the neighbouring peaks.
From here, a long, impressive descent over the wide slopes of the Galmi Glacier down to Reckingen (VS) awaits us.
A worthy finale and a real highlight with plenty of downhill fun.We finish the tour together in Reckingen VS.
