Climbing tour on the prominent Gletschhorn high above Andermatt in the best granite of Uri.

Technics

Endurance

The Gletschhorn is a prominent mountain high above Andermatt. The south ridge of the Gletschhorn offers nice scrambling in the 3rd and 4th degree of difficulty in the best granite of Uri. A grandiose high-altitude tour that should not be missed in this grandiose weather. Embedded in the Uri massif around the Albert Heim hut with a magnificent view of the Tiefengletscher and the Galenstock! The approach from Tiefenbach on the Furka Passschtrasse leads over a comfortable hiking trail in 600 m to the start. From there the tour goes over the ridge in the 3rd and 4th difficulty ridge to the Gletschhorn. The descent is via the south face with some abseils back to the start and back to the car park. Of course, the stream offers a cooling dip and the Tiefenbach restaurant a rewarding coffee and cake!
