To the dates and registration

The Sustenhorn is a cool mountain and the traverse from the lonely Chelenalp valley makes the tour even better. The Sustenhorn lies on the border of Uri and Bern. The mountain has an impressively craggy glacier and the summit offers a magnificent view all the way to the Matterhorn. We start the tour in the Göscheneralp and enjoy the seclusion of the Chelenalp valley together on the first day. There we spend the night in the small, beautifully situated Chelenalp Hut. On the second day we start early enough to enjoy the sunrise on the ascent. Together we cross the Sustenhorn via Sustenlimi and climb via Tierberglihütte to the Susten Pass. At the Tierberglihütte we enjoy coffee and cake, of course.
