Ski tours on the Simplon from the hotel
High location, many possibilities and a great ski touring area combined with a beautiful hotel with outdoor hot tub!
The Simplon is a great place to go on tours. Thanks to the high altitude and the pass road, there are many possibilities and combinations. We can either start from the top of the pass and tackle various variants in the direction of Tochuhorn or Spitzhorli and, if there is enough snow, achieve a lot of descent with little ascent. On the north side, the tours towards Breithorn or Mäderlücke offer great, shady terrain where the snow remains powdery for a long time. In fresh snow or poor visibility, the tours around the hotel are perfect: light forests and a small ski lift to reach great descents with little ascent. So here we can be out and about in a versatile and varied way. The Hotel Wasenalp offers great service and the outdoor whirlpool is a great place to switch off and relax in the evening!
