Ski tour to the Gross Grünhorn

On these two tour days, we will undertake a magnificent high-altitude ski tour to the Gross Grünhorn. This is in the middle of the gigantic mountain world of the Great Aletsch Glacier. Surrounded by ice, a prominent 4,000 metre peak with an impressive view. We start the tour with a preparatory tour around the Mönchsjochhütte. Trugberg with cool ski slopes or the Walcherhorn with a pretty firn ridge. We use the day to prepare and acclimatise and spend the night in the Mönchsjochhütte. The second day starts early and we travel through the huge glaciers to the ascent to the Gross Grünhorn. The ascent to the summit is on foot. A tremendous mountain panorama awaits us here - we made it together! After a cool descent to the Konkordiaplatz and a counter-climb to the Lötschenlücke, we enjoy the turns down into the Lötschental and look back on our shared experience one last time.
