Description
An unforgettable adventure, this 8-day ski mountaineering expedition will take you to 7 different summits in the Alps of the Bernese Oberland.
A definite highlight of the Swiss Alps, the Bernese Oberland is absolutely stunning. The views, like the descents, are nothing short of amazing.
Beginning in Grindelwald, this trip will take you to the following summits: Virgin (4,158m), Monch (4,107m), Gross Fiescherhorn (4,049m), Behind Fiescherhorn (4,025m), Gross Greenhorn (4,044m), Finsteraahorn (4,274m) and Aletschhorn (4,193m). You will also get to admire the amazing Aletsch glacier at the end of this magnificent trip as well.
We will be staying in several mountain huts during this expedition. Each hut, which includes the Kondoria hut and several others, will provide you with the perfect place to recuperate and rest. Moreover, the evening views of the night sky above from the alpine huts are incredible.
Due to the length and arduous nature of this trip, it is important that participants are in good physical condition. You should also have prior ski mountaineering experience as well.
By the end of this trip you will doubtlessly be exhausted. However, the memories of the views, descents and overall experience will make that exhaustion well worth it. If you would like to join me on this 8-day adventure in the Bernese Oberland, all you have to do is send me a request. I look forward to guiding you.

Mauvais communication concernant le moment demandé, rien de grave mais cela a changé notre programme en dernière la minute. A part ça, contact rapide et réactif.
