Ski tour Louwihorn and Lötschenlücke
Impressive glaciers and long descents!
Beautiful weather this week! We enjoy the beautiful Sulz on a downhill ski tour from the Jungfraujoch over the Louwitor down into the Lötschental. We cross the mighty glaciers of the Bernese Oberland and enjoy the view of impressive mountains such as the Aletschhorn. After a first short descent from the Jungfraujoch, we climb 500 metres up to the Louwitor and eventually to the Louwihorn to descend in a cool descent over the Kranzbergfirn. After a further 300 m ascent, we reach the Lötschenlücke at the Hollandiahütte and descend to the Fafleralp, from where the postbus takes us back home. With an ascent of 800 metres, this makes a total of 2400 metres of descent through the impressive glacier world of the Aletsch region.
