Salbit south ridge

The Salbit south ridge is a real classic - and for good reason: solid, rough Uri granite, spectacular towers, striking ridge passages and scenery that is simply impressive. Anyone who has ever been up there will understand why this tour is considered one of the most beautiful ridge climbs in the Alps.

The climbing is varied, airy, but never overtaxing - perfect scales, grippy cracks and plenty of friction ensure pure climbing enjoyment. The difficulties remain moderate and are mostly well below the maximum of 5b - ideal for anyone who feels comfortable in a solid alpine environment and wants to develop their climbing technique in the terrain.

Our tour begins on Saturday with the ascent to the cosy Salbithütte. There we get a taste of the mountain air and climb a short route close to the hut - perfect for familiarising ourselves with the rock and checking our equipment. We set off early on Sunday: we tackle the south ridge with light packs, in a good mood and accompanied by our experienced mountain guide. From tower to tower, we climb steadily up and down over airy passages, linked by short abseils - always accompanied by the impressive backdrop of the Salbit.

This tour is far more than just a climb - it's an experience. A rope team, a goal, a ridge. And lots of granite that will make your climbing heart beat faster!
