Overview

Recommended for: Anyone who trades comfort for the view.

Ascents over glaciers, breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, long descents: a true adventure.

2 days on touring skis, circling the Jungfrau: We start at the Jungfraujoch, enjoy the descent to the Konkordiaplatz, cross the Lötschenlücke, and ski down to the Lötschental. On the second day, the Petersgrat awaits with a spectacular transition into the upper Lauterbrunnental. The perfect mix of ascent, descent, and nature experience.

Day1
Day 1: Over the Lötschenlücke into the Lötschental
From Grindelwald Terminal, we head to the Jungfraujoch. The first descent takes us to the Konkordiaplatz. With skins, we ascend over the Aletschfirn to the Lötschenlücke. The view of the surrounding glacier world is incredibly impressive. The descent over the Langgletscher into the Lötschental is both challenging and awe-inspiring. After descending over 2,000 meters, we reach Blatten, where we spend the night in a cozy hotel.

Day 2: Over the Petersgrat into the Lauterbrunnental
After an early breakfast, the post bus takes us to Lauchernalp. We ascend below the striking Bietschhorn and traverse open terrain to the Petersgrat. Beyond lies one of the most impressive ski descents in the region: From the Mutthorn past the icefalls of the Tschingelfirn, over steep slopes and through untouched valleys into the upper Lauterbrunnental. If snow conditions thwart our plans, there are alternative routes back to the Lötschental. Return journey in the afternoon from Stechelberg.

Weather info

General weather info

Weather can influence any tour, and a clear decision is often only possible on the day itself. We review conditions carefully and remain within our safety limits, and bad weather alone does not mean we have to stop.

Make sure we can reach you with current contact information in case your booking changes. Silence from us means your tour is still planned or the final call is not yet made. If we need to cancel, you can rebook, choose another activity, or get a full refund.
