If you want to move into high alpine terrain, glaciers become a central topic. This course focuses on how to travel safely on glaciers and how to use your rope effectively - especially to prevent a fall into a crevasse and – if it happens, how to get out! This course is all about learning how to build a pulley and other rope techniques. Since this is a one-day course and we want to spend as much time as possible practicing rope techniques, we won’t be on an actual glacier. Instead, we’ll use suitable training terrain with snow drifts and flat areas that allow for realistic and effective practice. Course Content: - Learn how to tie into the rope properly - Form and manage rope teams for glacier travel - Practice movement as a rope team on the glacier - Building snow and ice anchors - Setting up pulley systems for rescue - Self-rescue techniques: ascending the rope with prusiks or mechanical devices To participate in this course, you should: - Be comfortable moving on skis in alpine winter terrain - Have basic ski touring experience, including skinning and descending in variable snow conditions - Be able to manage a full day outdoors in cold, snowy conditions - No prior rope or crevasse rescue experience is required - we start with the fundamentals!

Day 1 – From Realp to the Albert-Heim Hut After a welcome coffee in Andermatt, we send our luggage ahead to Engelberg and take the train to Realp.

Day 2 – Over the Lochberg to Göscheneralp A short descent starts the day, followed by a scenic climb toward the Lochberg. Surrounded by dramatic granite peaks, we reach the summit with crampons and ice axe. A beautiful descent takes us down to the Göscheneralp and our warm, welcoming inn in Gwüest – with hot showers, comfy beds, and Wi-Fi. Day 3 – Deep into the Voralp Valley The day begins with a fun snowmobile tow to the dam. Then we skin up toward the Schinstock area and climb one of its steep couloirs using crampons and ice axe. A quiet, broad valley opens up on the far side, leading to a long descent deep into the Voralp Valley. We end the day at the rustic Voralp Hut – no phone signal, no shower, but full of alpine atmosphere. Day 4 – The King Stage over the Sustenhorn This is the queen stage: a long, breathtaking journey to the summit of the 3,502 m Sustenhorn.

Day 1: St. Luc – Bella Tola – Turtmann Hut Meeting Point: 10:00 AM at St. Luc (Tignousa cable car station) From the top station, we ascend through the ski area towards Bella Tola (3025 m). A scenic descent into the Turtmann Valley follows, before a final climb up to the Turtmann Hut (2519 m), nestled at the edge of the glacier. Day 2: Turtmann Hut – Brunegghorn – Tracuit Hut We start above a moraine before entering a narrow gully that opens onto the wide Brunegg Glacier. Traversing the glacier, we ascend a steep slope to reach the southwest ridge and the summit of the Brunegghorn (3833 m). After skiing down the glacier’s western flank to around 2800 m, a final climb brings us to the spectacularly located Tracuit Hut (3259 m). Day 3: Tracuit Hut – Bishorn – Arpitettaz Hut Today we ascend the Bishorn (4151 m), a high-altitude but technically moderate 4000-meter peak. The route leads entirely over the upper Turtmann Glacier.

Day 4: Arpitettaz Hut – Blanc de Moming – Mountet Hut From the hut, we follow broad slopes to reach the glacier. A wide arc takes us around a large crevasse zone, eventually leading to the upper glacier plateau. After a long traverse, we reach the summit basin and ascend the ridge to the Dôme de Blanc de Moming (3649 m). Depending on snow conditions, we descend via the southern ridge or the Arête du Blanc towards Zinalrothorn, and then ski down to the Mountet Hut (2886 m). Day 5: Mountet Hut – Mont Durand – Zermatt We begin the final day by crossing the long Glacier Durand to reach the Col Durand. From here, we climb Mont Durand (also known as Arbenhorn, 3712 m).
