Departure from the Galmihorn from the tour to the Finsteraarhorn

Ski touring on huge glaciers in April and May is brilliant. It's simply fun to ascend over the snow-covered glaciers at dawn, reach a proud summit and then glide back over the beautiful slopes and flat glaciers. In these 2 days, we will take you on two great ski mountaineering tours from the Jungfraujoch and show you what to look out for and how to behave on the glaciers and ski mountaineering tours. We meet in Grindelwald and can immerse ourselves in the high mountain world straight away thanks to the cable cars. We start with a leisurely tour over the Louwihorn and look at the various roping techniques and rules of behaviour on the glacier. We spend the night in the magnificently situated Hollandiahütte and climb from there to the Äbeni Flue at almost 4000 metres.
