ABOUT THE TOUR
Weissmies - Normal Route: At 4,023 meters, the Weissmies is not only the highest but also the most imposing peak in the northeastern part of the Valais Alps. Despite its appearance, with its ice-clad northwest flank and rocky southern side, it offers a technically relatively easy route for ascent even for less experienced mountaineers. However, those who disregard the necessary safety precautions for glacier climbing run the risk of disappearing into one of the numerous and large crevasses that dot the extensive glacier surfaces. While there are no difficult climbing sections to master up to the summit, there are steep and crevasse-rich slopes. With the necessary know-how and the required safety measures, the Weissmies is an absolute highlight among alpine tours, representing a completely doable and therefore highly worthwhile goal even for beginners in the world of 4,000-meter peaks.

PROGRAM
Day 1: Weissmies Hut Access
We meet in Saas Grund at the valley station of the cable car (parking is available in the large parking lot right next door). After a quick gear check, we'll pick up a cable car ticket to Kreuzboden and leisurely walk the remaining 300 meters to the Weissmies Hut. This is where we'll settle into our overnight accommodations.
Day 2: Weissmies Summit Day
The next morning, after breakfast, we head toward the summit. First, we climb toward Hohsaas over moraine fields until we reach the glacier behind it. Here, we'll rope up and begin the beautiful ascent over spectacular glaciers with impressive crevasses to the summit of Weissmies. New and beautiful perspectives of the surrounding mountains and glaciers continually unfold before our eyes. The panorama at the summit is a dream, which we'll thoroughly enjoy before we begin the descent again.
Any changes to the program that may be necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, accommodation booking situation, etc.) will always be made in consultation with the participants.
