Ascent to Mönchsjochhütte

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

At first, a hike to the Mönchsjochhütte does not seem too difficult. But with the thin air up here, it is quite tedious, the specified walking time of 45 min. observed. Nevertheless, highly recommended 👍🏼

Finally a hike at high altitude again. Although it wasn't long, it was quite tiring. Due to a cheap ticket, which I got by chance, I spontaneously went to the Jungfraujoch today. Always a great experience. The problem, however, is the enormous difference in altitude, which you can cover in less than an hour. From Grindelwald you race up from …

We went on a short glacier hike in beautiful weather. It was beautiful and the view was breathtaking. A world of ice and snow of its own. 🤩

However, the displayed time is not correct for the outward and return journey. We needed about 1.40 hours.

* phew * that was pretty difficult at 3,500m 😅 & still beautiful 🤩

Nice walk , your impressive view . To the hut it is up, take 1hr with some stops . Back you need 30 min . Nice hut
3,600 m altitude, hardly any air to breathe when hiking but sensational views.
Warm greetings!

Top of Europe was the destination today and we enjoyed the numerous tourists (we were too). Also made the short hike to the Mönchsjochütte (lunch) on the snow. When the snow is as soft as it was today, the short path with the relatively small ascent at this altitude becomes a longer hike * smile *.

A great day in the 🇨🇭 at 3,657m with the best weather!
