Day tour Grossstrubel | Impressive high-altitude ski tour with mountain guide
A wonderful day ski tour from Engstligenalp via Frühstücksplatzl to Grossstrubel at 3243 metres with a magnificent panorama.
Technics
Endurance
We take the railway to Engstligenalp. From there, we immerse ourselves in the vast, high alpine winter landscape. Gentle glacier surfaces, striking rocks and open slopes characterise the terrain, ideal for enjoyable ascents and atmospheric descents. The ascent opens up an impressive panorama from the Valais four-thousand-metre peaks to the Bernese Alps. The long descent is the crowning glory of the tour: an ingenious mix of open slopes, glacier passages and long-lasting skiing pleasure! The tour ends back on the cosy Engstligenalp, where we round off the tour together.
Procedure and meeting place
We meet at the Engstligenalp valley station. It is possible to carpool from Adelboden or Frutigen railway station.
We start the day comfortably with a cable car ascent to Engstligenalp. From there we climb over the Strubel glacier to the Frühstücksplatzl and cross this band either on skis or on foot with crampons. We continue on skis over beautiful open terrain to the summit of the Wildstrubel.
We finish the tour together again at Engstligenalp and back down in the valley.

Key point of the tour: This is the crossing of the Frühstücksplatzl and requires safe walking on skis. Depending on the conditions, we also cross this section on foot with crampons.
