Ski Mountaineering Strahlhorn 4,190m Valais

The Strahlhorn is a 4,190m high mountain in the Valais Alps in Switzerland, just a few kilometers from the border with Italy. It is located between the Mischabel Group and the Monte Rosa massif. The mountain is the third highest peak in the Allalin group, on the border between Saas-Almagell and Zermatt.
The Stahlhorn is one of the lighter 4000m peaks in Switzerland. The normal route leads from the Britannia Hut to the Adler Pass and from there over the WNW ridge to the summit. The perfect ski tour on a 4000 meter peak for ski tourers in good physical condition.
The tour begins in Saas-Fee. From here we climb to the Britanniahütte with rail support. We spend the night here. Beforehand there is a material check and a briefing with your mountain guide. After dinner and overnight stay, we set off early towards Strahlhorn. We then reach the summit via the wide glacier surfaces of the Allalingletscher and past the Adler Pass. Here we enjoy the magnificent view of the Monte Rosa group and the Matterhorn. The descent follows the ascent route. Back at the Britanniahütte we start the descent and the descent to Saas-Fee.
The tour to the Stahlhorn can be started as a day tour from the Metro Alpin middle station until the end of March and as a 2-day tour from the Britannia Hut from April.
