We spend these high-altitude touring days in the superbly situated Almagellerhütte. On the first two days we enjoy the beautiful granite in this area. The Portjen ridge over the Pizzo d'Andolla and Porjenhorn is not well known, but is a magnificent crossing. This leads over a varied ridge in fantastic rock. This is the perfect place for scrambling and climbing on a solitary high tour. This is a somewhat longer tour. We then enjoy the crossing of the Weissmies with the best sunrise in Valais. An easy scramble over the south ridge to the glaciated summit. The descent leads over an impressive glacier directly to the Hohsaas mountain restaurant. Here we enjoy the tours we have completed together and then travel comfortably back down to the valley on the mountain railway.
