Alpine Tour | Nadelhorn with Mountain Guide
Varied high tour to a prominent 4000m peak over a huge glacier, a pretty firn ridge and a cool rocky ascent.
The high tour on the Nadelhorn is mega cool. Even the approach to the hut is exciting and varied. Thanks to the cable cars in Saas Fee, the route is shortened via ladders and steps to the Mischabel hut with its stunning views. There we still have enough time to go over the necessary knowledge for the tour with you. We start very early the next day. Together we cross the glacier and climb a little steeper up to the Windjoch. This is where the firn ridge begins. However, this is not as sharp as a needle, but initially a ridge and only later somewhat exposed. Always secured by a rope from the mountain guide, we head up this ridge. The summit ascent is an easy scramble. The view from the summit is magnificent! The gigantic panorama of the high 4000 metre peaks in Valais surrounds us. The descent follows the same route.
