Profile of the Finsteraarhorn

The Finsteraarhorn is visible from afar. A sinister, pointed horn in the middle of the glacier world of the Bernese Alps. The Finsteraarhorn is a brilliant ski tour. We can ski comfortably over the great distances of the glaciers and also have brilliant slopes on the descent from the Finsteraarhorn and on the last day, from the Galmihorn.

  • Tour schedule

    1. Day: Ride by train to the Jungfraujoch and tour to the Finsteraarhornhütte. Depending on the conditions, we choose one of the two variants:
      • Ascent of the Fiescherhörner with a short climb on foot or
      • Crossing the Grünhorn gap
    2. Day: Ascent of the Finsteraarhorn and overnight stay in the same hut. The ascent leads over a short passage, along large glaciers up to the Hugisattel. Here we deposit the skis and scramble over the summit ridge, secured by the mountain guide, to reach the imposing summit. The descent leads over the wide slopes. There are several variations here. We love this ski tour, there are so many cool, unknown downhill variations. We spend another comfortable night in the Finsteraarhornhütte.
    3. Day: Crossing of the Galmihorn and descent into Goms. This tour is another highlight. The ascent leads along large glaciers up to the summit. During the ascent you experience a magnificent sunrise from the profile of the Finsteraarhorn. The descent from the Galmihorn leads over large slopes down into the Goms where spring has already arrived in all its glory. We cover the last few metres on foot and walk leisurely through the finely scented forests and green meadows.
