Jungfrau Glacier Days
May 6–9, 2027 · Four days of skiing and splitboarding in the High Mountains.
01 · SKI HIKES IN MAY
Good lines for the finish
Up even further. And with time for beautiful descents.
When spring arrives below, we head to the Jungfraujoch area on skis and splitboards. Julian Fürsinger and I will take you from the Jungfraujoch between vast glaciers and high peaks to the Finsteraarhorn basin.
What appeals to me about these days: We choose our tours based on the snow conditions. A certain peak isn’t above a good descent. Two nights in the same hut give us the flexibility we need – and a day with a lighter backpack.
You are traveling to the high mountains of the Bernese Alps for four days. In return, you bring tour experience, safe downhill techniques, and a passion for being together on the journey.
Reading the snow
The conditions determine our line.
Early start
From the Jungfraujoch to the Finsteraarhorn basin.
02 · THE PLANNED ROUTE
Four days in the high mountains
Day 1 · Jungfraujoch
Meeting point in Interlaken or Grindelwald, then by train to the Jungfraujoch. A first ascent towards Trugberg opens the descent to the Konkordiaplatz. Through the mountain huts we reach the Konkordiahütte.
Day 2 · Green Horned Gap
The crossing over the Grünhornlücke brings us to the Finsteraarhorn basin. Here we find a suitable descent route and spend two nights in the Finsteraarhorn hut.
Day 3 · Tour according to the conditions
The overnight luggage stays in the hut. Depending on the snow and the group, Agassizhorn, Grosses Wannenhorn or Kleines Fiescherhorn are some of the options.
Day 4 · Towards Goms
Earlier start from the Fiescher Glacier and ascent towards Galmihorn. If the conditions are right, long downhill runs into Goms round off the tour. With public transport, you can return to Interlaken or head straight home.
This route is our plan. Weather, avalanche conditions, glaciers, and the group decide on the actual routes and possible departures.
03 · EXPERIENCE & CONDITION
Does the tour suit you?
You are on tour at home and you stay calm even in challenging terrain.
