Ski tour from Saas Fee, view of the Strahlhorn

Ski touring and mountaineering on 4000 metre peaks is the best combination. It's simply fun to climb over the snow-covered glaciers at dawn, reach a proud summit and then glide back over the beautiful slopes and flat glaciers. In these 3 days, we will take you on two great ski mountaineering tours to over 4000 metres and show you what to look out for and how to behave on the glaciers and ski mountaineering tours. We meet in Saas-Fee and can immerse ourselves in the high mountain world straight away thanks to the cable cars. We start with a leisurely tour and look at the various roping techniques and rules of behaviour on the glacier. We spend two nights in the beautifully situated Britannia hut and from there climb the Allalinhorn and Strahlhorn. If conditions are good, we can ski down to the Mattmark reservoir after the Strahlhorn. A descent of around 2000 metres awaits us! From there we can take a taxi back to Saas Grund or Saas Fee.

Lulu

We had an incredibly enjoyable 3-day tour in the glacier world of Saas-Fee. Simon and Kevin were great mountain guides who were super motivated to teach us and guided us safely past the crevasses and in the whiteout. We can heartily recommend Bergschaft and the mountain guides: Good organisation beforehand and great execution of the tour with wonderful descents and great summit experiences at over 4000m. We always felt safe. Many thanks for the unforgettable days!
