Itinerary
Meeting pointsWe meet in Beatenberg and check our equipment.
From Beatenberg, we ascend with snowshoes through snowy forests. The path leads us steadily uphill, past sunlit clearings and over gentle snowy slopes. After a few hours, we reach the ridge where the view of Lake Thun and the surrounding peaks is spectacular.
After the final climb, which requires a little more concentration, we stand on the Gemmenalphorn and the view over the vast Bernese Oberland rewards every step.
After a short break, we descend through untouched snowy landscapes towards Habkern, where the tour ends.

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.
