Mönch 1-day guided ascent program

Join me and let’s climb the Mönch (4107 m) together in this 1-day program! It is one of the three iconic peaks of the Bernese Alps, together with the Eiger (3970 m) and the Jungfrau (4158 m).

Mönch is a perfect day trip over the south-west ridge or southridge. Starting with the first cablecar from Grindelwald-Grund, we will be back in the afternoon to Grindelwald.

The cable car/train is running the whole year, so it’s possible to do this ascent even during the whole autumn, until the beginning of December.

We will meet at 7:15 at the Station Eiger Expresse in Grindelwald-Grund Cablecar (not included in costs), go up to Kleine Scheidegg and then continue to Jungfraujoch, where we start the climb.

The normal route (south-east ridge) is a moderate climb that goes through rocky terrain and snow ridges, and it takes around 6 hours to cover the 650 meters up/down altitude gain. We can also take the south-west ridge instead, which is more technical and difficult, and the guide:client ratio is 1:1.

This climb is a perfect way to test your technique and adapt yourself to the altitude. Also, a great chance to put your mountaineering skills to use, in this specific type of terrain. The Mönch ascent is graded PD, with slopes up to 45 degrees.
