Day Tours

My first 4000m peak! The Allalin is known as one of the easier 4000m peaks in the Alps and offers an unforgetable experience for good hikers which aim higher!   Some regard the Allalinhorn as a training tour, others take it on for acclimatisation and for quite a few others it is a real holiday highlight and possibly the only 4000er they will ever climb. Whatever your goal, it will be an unforgettable experience.   +  Easy glacier tour.

The Hohlaubgrat (East Ridge) of the Allalin is tranquil and scenically grand. It is a very popular climb that is not too demanding.  The point of departure is the Hohlaub/Metro-Window at 3200m. Once exiting the tunnel you step into a different world free from skiers and tourists. The trail leads you along an impressive snow ridge that provides excellent views and assumes the full character of an alpine ascent. Before reaching the summit you will conquer a short, but exhilarating rock step that will require easy scrambling. The descent is via the normal route.   ++  Tour in easy rock/ snow or snow tour of medium difficulty ++  Good average athletic fitness   Ascent 800m in 3.5hrs Descent 500m in 1.5 hrs     Private tour from CHF 700   Equipment required: climbing harness crampons with antibott ice axe hiking pole windproof and warm clothing (possibly gaiters) gloves beanie or hat sunglasses and sun protection Equipment hire:  CHF 25 for climbing harness, crampons, ice axe & hiking pole

There is hardly a more demanding and at the same time more fascinating way to reach the summit of the Allalin. If you would like to learn how to handle two ice axes and won't shy away from a 50 degree face, then this climb is for you. If you master this climb, then you've got what it takes to tackle more challenging North faces.   +++  Difficult tour on ice ++    Good average athletic fitness   Ascent 500m in 3hrs Descent 500m in 1hr     Private tour from CHF 700   Equipment required: climbing harness crampons with antibott 2 ice axes hiking pole windproof and warm clothing (possibly gaiters) gloves beanie or hat sunglasses and sun protection Equipment hire:  CHF 25 for climbing harness, crampons, ice axes & hiking pole

The Metro Alpin takes us up to the Mittelallalin at 3500m. From here we follow the first part of the Allalin ascent that leads us to the Feejoch at 3826m. The connecting rock ridge to the prominent Feekopf is short but exciting and requires some easy scrambling. The elegant snow ridge to the extensive summit plateau leads across an aesthetically formed Eisnase (ice nose). The climb, although technically not very demanding, requires a good measure of fitness. The descent follows down the East flank towards the Längfluh.   ++  Tour snow tour of medium difficulty - easy rock part ++  Good average athletic fitness   Ascent 700m in 4hrs Descent 1300m in 2.5hr     Group tour CHF 310 per person Private tour from CHF 780   Equipment required: climbing harness crampons with antibott ice axe hiking pole windproof and warm clothing (possibly gaiters) gloves beanie or hat sunglasses and sun protection Equipment hire:  CHF 25 for climbing harness, crampons, ice axe & hiking pole

We start early in the morning with a taxi drive to the famous resort Zermatt. After a quick walk, we reach the cable-car which take us up to the Klein Matterhorn (3880m.a.s.l.). Over the Breithorn normal route - a relatively easy ascent - we reach the summit. Up there, a marvelous view to the Matterhorn and the Monte Rosa massiv awaits us.   ++  Easy snow tour.

This route will captivate you with its varied and fun terrain. It is the perfect introduction to rock and mixed alpine climbing. The starting point is the Hohsaas cable car station at 3100m. From here the trail leads across glaciers, entertaining rock-climbing sections and snowfields to a small and airy summit. The 900m ascent will be rewarded with awe-inspiring panoramic vistas. The Lagginhorn with its 4010m is the lowest 4000m peak.    ++  Tour in easy rock and snow ++  Good average athletic fitness   Ascent 900m in 4hrs Descent 900m in 2.5hr     Group tour CHF 310 per person Private tour CHF 780 for 1-2 persons   Equipment required: climbing harness crampons with antibott ice axe hiking pole helmet windproof and warm clothing (possibly gaiters) gloves beanie or hat sunglasses and sun protection Equipment hire:  CHF 25 for climbing harness, crampons, ice axe & hiking pole

If you mastered the Allalinhorn then you are ready for the Weissmies. Weissmies literally translated means "white mossâ" in Swiss German dialect in reference to the dramatic covering of the impressive glacier clinging to the peak. After the cable car ride to Hohsaas at 3100m, the ascend leads us below the ice-armoured North West face with its towering seracs and passes through a glacier wonderland before cresting on to the final ridge. Your efforts will be rewarded with a breathtaking view spanning from the summits of the Bernese Oberland to the Monte Rosa and all the way to the Bernina Massif in the eastern part of Switzerland. The Ticino Lakes and Italy greet you in the distance.   ++   Easy snow tour.
