Ascent
From the meeting point at Grimmialp, the ascent begins along the Senggibach. Initially gentle, through sparse forest and along a road, before the terrain opens up. At Grimmi, it becomes wide and scenic, then the path leads over the Grimmifurgi further upwards. The last meters are demanding again: a few switchbacks, then the Rauflihorn is reached.
Summit
At the top: a summit break with a panoramic view and hot tea. On a beautiful winter day, there is nothing better!
Descent
The descent offers everything a ski tourer's heart desires: open slopes, enjoyable turns, and a direct route back to the valley.

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.
