To the dates and registration

After the fresh snow on Thursday and Friday, we're going on this tour together! The Titlis round tour takes us through impressive high mountain terrain. First we abseil twice with skis on our feet through the south face couloir to reach the foot of the south face. The tour continues with a leisurely ascent and two long descents past the Grassenbiwak, around the Titlis and back to Engelberg. This involves a comfortable 600 metre ascent and a sporty 2000 metre descent. Together and well coached by our local mountain guide Sven, you can experience and enjoy the tour to the full.

Accommodation

Grassenbiwak

Simple, charming, unexpected bivouac. The Grassen bivouac is perfectly equipped. We will take the food from the Sustlihütte with us. The cooking and sleeping facilities in the bivouac are marvellous. Much quieter than the weekend hustle and bustle of the Sustlihütte 😉

Very exciting tour around the Titlis. Exciting scrambling and abseiling, with great support from the mountain guides. And at the end a dream descent in powder snow
