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.    Best time:   June 6th - October   Fitness Level Skill Level Easy glacier tour. Minimal gradient.

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.    Best time:   June 6th - October   Fitness Level Skill Level   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   Rental equipment: Item Price (CHF) Climbing Harness 10.- Crampons 10.- Telescopic pole 5.- Hiking boots 15.- Ice axe 10.-

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.    Best time:   June 6th - October   Fitness Level Skill Level   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   Rental equipment: Item Price (CHF) Climbing Harness 10.- Crampons 10.- Telescopic pole 5.- Ice axe 10.- Hiking boots 15.- Helmet 5.-

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.    Best time:   June 6th - End-September   Fitness Level Skill Level   Tour snow tour of medium difficulty - easy rock part Good average athletic fitness   Ascent 750m in 4hrs Descent 1300m in 2.5hr     Group Tour When      on request Price CHF 310.- per person (3 pers.)   Private Tour When      on request Price CHF 810.- per tour (1 - 2 pers.)   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   Rental equipment: Item Price (CHF) Climbing Harness 10.- Crampons 10.- Telescopic pole 5.- Hiking boots 15.- Ice axe 10.-
