Engstligenalp ski tour - cosy, beautiful and eventful

Cosy and enjoyable ski tour in the Bernese Oberland!

Technics

Endurance

A leisurely and enjoyable ski tour in the Bernese Oberland. Thanks to the Engstligenalp cable car, we can start high up and enjoy a leisurely ski tour to the Tschingellochtighore or the Ammertenspitz. The starting point is high enough so that the onset of heat has no effect, and the north-west and east-facing slopes are steep enough to really enjoy the fresh snow. From the mountain station we cross the plateau below the impressive Wildstrubel north face. The descent is a little more direct back down again. Depending on our mood, we add a second ascent. Our guide Simon knows the area well and will make sure you have a cool day in the snow!
