To the dates and registration

During these high-altitude touring days, we want to acquire more knowledge and skills in the field of high-altitude touring together and also go on great high-altitude tours. The tours are varied and offer cool terrain to learn and experience. In the first two days, we will refresh and develop our knowledge and go on shorter practice tours before crossing two easy 4,000 metre peaks together on the next two days. We will start at the Almagellerhütte, where we have great training terrain and magnificent granite for scrambling. We will then cross the Weissmies either via the south ridge or the somewhat more challenging SW ridge (red ridge) and descend to the Hohsaas mountain hotel. A well-earned shower awaits us here to plan and tackle the next fantastic tour. We climb the Lagginhorn via the west ridge or as a traverse from the Fletschhorn and the north ridge. We simplify the descent with the mountain railway from Hohsaas.

In this alpine touring coaching you must have some experience in alpine touring (e.g. basic course) and would like to acquire more knowledge about rope handling and planning. We are travelling in 3 rope teams.
