    We meet at the railway station in Meiringen and from there take a taxi in the direction of the Grimsel Pass to Räterichsbodensee.

  • Day 1 - Approach Bächlitalhütte

    1100 metres altitude

    500 Hm

    L

    6 hours

    From Räterichsboden, we start the ascent to the Bächlitalhütte on our touring skis. As the ascent doesn't take a whole day, we choose a nice slope for our first turns in the snow and end the day in a cosy atmosphere at the hut.

  • Day 2 - Over the Bächlilücke and descent to the Gaulihütte

    1000 Hm

    1000 Hm

    WS

    6-8 hours

    A particularly impressive section of the tour awaits us on this day - the crossing over the Obere Bächlilücke. We set off early in the morning and enjoy the quiet ascent over the Bächligletscher, while the first rays of sunlight bathe the surrounding peaks in warm light. The crossing itself is a real alpine experience: we climb up several ladders and secured passages before descending safely with chains and crampons to the Hiendertelti glacier on the other side. From here, the marvellous descent to the Gaulihütte begins, which, with its charm and impressive location, is the perfect place to end the day in a relaxed manner. A varied day of touring full of alpine impressions that once again shows just how varied and fascinating the Bernese Alps are.

  • Day 3 - Ski tour in the Gauli area

    1200-1400 metres altitude

    1200-1400 metres altitude

    WS

    6-8 hours

    From the Gaulihütte, we embark on an exciting day of touring with a return to the hut - so we can leave unnecessary weight behind and optimise our strength. There is a wide choice of rewarding destinations around the hut, and we choose the right tour depending on the conditions, weather and group. Here, in the middle of the impressive basin of snow and rock, numerous possibilities await: impressive ascents over extensive glaciers, lonely peaks with magnificent views and varied downhill variants that leave nothing to be desired. Two nights in the Gaulihütte give us the freedom to organise the tours flexibly and to fully enjoy the best snow conditions - true to the motto: easy on the way, intensive experience.

  • Day 4 - Ski tour and descent into the Rosenlaui valley

    1000-1400 metres altitude

    1900-2300 metres altitude

    L to WS+

    6-8 hours

    A crowning finale to our ski touring days awaits us on the last day. We leave the Gauli area via the western Wätterlimi, the Ränfenhorn or the Rosenhorn - depending on the conditions and the group. From there, the route leads us over the mighty Rosenlaui glacier down into the valley of the same name. This final tour is a real highlight: a long, varied descent, often on wonderfully powdery snow as we are north-facing and with impressive views of the steep flanks of the Engelhörner. We cover around 2300 metres in altitude - a descent that is one of the best in the Alps!

    Down in the historic Rosenlaui valley, we treat ourselves to a well-earned refreshment at the Hotel Rosenlaui before the taxi takes us comfortably back to Meiringen. A worthy end to a tour full of alpine highlights, impressive landscapes and unforgettable moments.
