About this tour

The Saas-Fee region is a paradise for accessible 4000-metre peaks and an ideal place to gain your first experience on high Alpine summits. During this four-day mountaineering programme, we climb two of the area’s most beautiful mountains: the Weissmies via its south ridge and the Allalinhorn via the impressive Hohlaubgrat. The programme is designed for fit beginners who would like to climb their first 4000-metre peaks under professional guidance. In addition to two unforgettable summit days, you can look forward to relaxed evenings in mountain huts, a restful night in the valley and an exciting via ferrata.

Day 2 – Weissmies traverse, 4017 metres: We set off early and climb the Weissmies via its south ridge, a magnificent mixed route combining rock and firn with spectacular views of the 4000-metre peaks of the Valais Alps. We descend along the northern side to Hohsaas at 3101 metres and take the cable car into the valley. We spend the night at Hotel Bergfreund in Herbriggen.
