|
This incredible area offers the greatest variety of touring anywhere in the
high alps. Starting in Grindelwald at the foot of the famous Eiger the tour
traverses the largest glaciers in the Western Alps to finish in the Rhone valley
5 days later. En route we have the opportunity to climb a number of peaks
depending on the weather and conditions.| Day 1 | Meet in Grindelwald in the afternoon and check equipment. |
| Day 2 | We take the incredible mountain train through the Eiger and the Monch to the Jungfrau from there we descend to the Koncordia hut. |
| Day 3 | Ascent of the Kranzberg **m and back to the Koncordia hut. |
| Day 4 | We cross the Grunhornlucke and climb the Wysnollen 3595m before descending to the Finsteraarhorn hut. |
| Day 5 | We climb the Gross Wannenhorn 3905m which usually holds the snow well enabling us to enjoy a great ski back down before continuing to the Oberaajochhutte. |
| Day 6 | Normally we climb the Vorder Galmihorn before a long descent to Reckingen in the Rhone valley where the trip finishes. From here it easy to return to Grindelwald by train. |
