These are the last climbing aids to the summit.

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 👍🏼

Soft snow on a narrow ridge above the cornices forced us to turn back 20 metres early. But that counts too.

The climb was more difficult than expected.

After a coffee with the mountain guide we set off.

The weather was good and the path to the Mönchsjochhütte was level.

The weather forecast predicted fog on the summit around midday and snowfall in the evening. Expected wind speed 12 kmh.
