Berner Oberland Ski Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Evening welcoming in Interlaken. Review equipment and tour.
Day 2: Travel from Interlaken to Jungfraujoch via train. Ski up to the Monchjoch Hut (3,630 m / 11,906') and spend the
night. There is the possibility of climbing the Monch along the way (4,099 m / 13,444').
Day 3: Ski traverse to the Konkordia Hut (2,850 m / 9,348') via Trugberg Mountain (3,867 m / 12,684'). This is a great ski
descent with spectacular views of Konkordiaplatz (the region where four glaciers come together, the glacial ice is ~3,000'
thick!).
Day 4: Ascent and descent of Grunneghorn, return to Konkordia hut. Many other options from the hut base on condition
and participants wishes.
Day 5: From the Konkordia Hut, ski to the Finsteraar Hut (3,048 m / 9,997') via Grunhornlucke (3,266 m / 10,712'). Ascent
of Weissnollen (3,594 m / 11,788') over two glaciers followed by a fantastic ski descent.
Day 6: From Finsteraar Hut, ascend and extraordinaire ski descent of Gross Wannenhorn (93905m / 12,886 ft) or
Agassihorn at (3,953m / 13,044 ft). Return to the Finsteraar Hut.
Day 7: From the Finsteraar Hut, embark on a mellow ski traverse to the Oberaar Hut (3,258 m / 10,686'). Ski a peak
along the way.

Galmihorn (3,486 m / 11,434'). This is a great descent from the white ice and snow of the glacier to the green valley floor
(6,134' vertical!). Return to Interlaken.
Difficulty:
This is a strenuous tour and requires a high level of fitness. Participants must be strong skiers able to perform strong stem
christies while carrying a pack in variable conditions: Powder, hard spring snow, crud and everything in between. Basic
mountaineering skills are helpful, we may use a rope, ice axe, and crampons. Your guide will be happy to teach you these
skills during the tour.
