A small adventure report of a wonderful holiday! The beautiful villages of Saas fee (1700 residents and approximately 1800 m above sea level), Zermatt (one of the most famous resorts in the Switzerland), Verbier (approx. 1800 inhabitants and more than 25’000 strangers beds) as well as the local Chamonix (an international renowned ski resort) pull each year many tourists to. 4 places, that names for enthusiasts have a magical sound. The locations are connected through the Haute route. This is a connection that was previously discovered by English climbers, to connect those places. You should not need to descend into the Valley. The rise: On the 1st day of Eagle pass is already with approximately 3800 meters high (3’789 m above sea level) a real key point on our program.

We make the first night in the Britannia hut (a mountain at an elevation of 3,030 m). When I enter Zermatt as our goal in the cottage book, the hostess says: this winter, no one has dared exceeding. Is still very much on the side of Zermatt Snow. Is properly queasy me once and for all, at the thought of it as Sologanger to play the pioneering for more climbers. To my relief, another group with Zermatt mountain guide enters the same evening as their goal.

I very generously decided to let the group go first. A member of the Group has difficulties with its skins. Thus, the Group progressed only very slowly. My roommates frank and Ralf took the lead.

I attach the skis on my backpack and descending with the iron and the pimples. Everything runs without any more problems. I’m later finally arrived without a wage rope on a glacier. Fortunately is snowed this winter here everything very well. Up to the entrance to the Findel Glacier (at 3803 m above sea level), I have wonderful snow under my shoes. Here, then, the snow is quite soft. On a very difficult-to-making cutting, I climb the page Moray. From here I go to Zermatt down the last few meters. Arrived back home: after I purchased my quarters in the beautiful Zermatt long I Discover 2 tired hikers. They are frank and Ralf. Contrary to the plans, the two have crossed this pass. But then the two missed the resurgence and had to wear the sports equipment the very way the village down. This was already annoying! For dinner, we sat together and could reminisce about our walks.
