Simplon
The Simplon Pass is a true paradise for ski tourers! Thanks to its high altitude and the well-developed pass road, there are countless possibilities and exciting combinations. Directly from the top of the pass, you can embark on fantastic tours to the Tochuhorn or Spitzhorli - if there is enough snow, you can ski down a lot with just a short ascent!
The north-facing routes towards Breithorn or Mäderlücke are also particularly rewarding: shady slopes that often keep the powder snow fresh and fluffy for days - a real highlight for connoisseurs. When fresh snow falls or the weather doesn't play ball, the tours around the hotel are perfect. The sparse forests ensure good visibility and, with the help of the small ski lift, you can experience great descents with minimal ascent.
The region around the Simplon Pass is incredibly diverse - from cosy to challenging, from sunny peaks to snow-covered northern slopes. And after an eventful day in the white winter wonderland, the charming Hotel Wasenalp awaits with warm service and a very special highlight: the outdoor whirlpool - the perfect place to relax at the end of the day and recharge your batteries.
Procedure and meeting place
Accessible from Zurich by public transport or with organised car pools.
After we have got to know each other and deposited our luggage at the hotel, we get ready for the first ski tour. Adapted to the participants, we choose a pleasant ascent and look for the best snow for the descent.
Depending on the conditions, we go on a beautiful ski tour. We orientate ourselves to the best conditions and enjoy leisurely ascents and great descents. We enjoy the evening as usual in the hotel and let ourselves be spoilt.
On the day of departure, we get up early to go on another ski tour and enjoy another eventful tour on the Simplon.
We conclude the ski touring days together.

Selina Widmer
The ski tours in the Simplon region were a fantastic end to the year! Thanks to the flawless organisation and execution as well as Philipp's competent and cordial guidance, we felt that we were in good hands and safe at all times. I'm already looking forward to experiencing new mountain adventures with Bergschaft in the future. Absolutely recommendable!
