Mönch - Fiescherhörner - Finsteraarhorn | Ski touring & mountaineering on 4,000 metre peaks
Experience high mountains, proud peaks and beautiful ski tour descents through the Aletsch high mountain world together!
Technics
Endurance
At the beginning of May, we go on 4,000-metre peaks and ski tours together. In May, the conditions on the 4,000-metre peaks of the Bernese Oberland are perfect and we make the most of the days and climb several 4,000-metre peaks together: Fiescherhörner and Finsteraarhorn. We scramble with ice axes and crampons over easy ridges and climb somewhat steeper firn sections. Always well secured, of course, and coached in a 3-man rope team with the mountain guide. We start with the magnificent tour over the Trugberg with a great descent to the Konkordiaplatz. Here we can acclimatise well before climbing the two Fiescherhörner peaks and the Finsteraarhorn, the icon of the Bernese Alps, over the next two days. On the last day we undertake the fantastic tour over the Galmihorn and descend into Goms. Depending on the snow conditions, we descend into the Lötschental at the end of May. Here you can ski down for a long time and the bus goes up to 1800 metres.
Tour programme and meeting point
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.
We climb the first few metres on touring skis towards the Mönchsjochhütte. At the start of the normal route to the Mönch, we set up a ski depot and ascend to the summit roped up in a 3-person rope team. Experience has shown that such a fast ascent (Jungfrau cable car and summit ascent) is strenuous with little acclimatisation and quickly leads to headaches. So we take it slow and easy and climb as high as possible. We spend the night in the Mönchsjochhütte and enjoy excellent service.
The day begins with a marvellous descent across the Ewigschneefeld. After the ascent to the Fieschersattel, the ascent of the Fiescherhörner over rock, snow and ice begins. The descent takes us over a wild glacier to the Finsteraarhorn hut.
High ski tour on the Finsteraarhorn with 2nd degree climbing sections and a magnificent descent through the glacier. Another overnight stay in the Finsteraarhorn hut
Depending on the conditions, we leave the Aletsch Arena via the Galmihorn, the Lötschental or the Fiescheralp. An alternative and shorter option is via the Lötschenlücke into the Lötschental or to the Fiescheralp.
