Highlights
- An achievable and rewarding introduction to high-altitude climbing in the Pennine Alps.
- Enjoy panoramic views of the Mischabel massif as you traverse glaciers and ridges to the summit.
Description
Crossing the Weissmies in the Valais, above Saas Grund, from the Almageller cabine in Hohsaas, is a magnificent mountaineering race. This is an ideal first ascent and crossing at 4000m!
After an early breakfast, we walk on the moraines until the Zwischbergenpass. If the weather is nice, we will enjoy there one of the most beautiful sunrises in the Alps! Then, after a short walk on the glacier, we reach the ridge. It offers a nice easy and varied climb until the summit! From the summit, the itinerary follows the Triftgletscher until the cable car that takes us to the valley. It offers magnificent views of the whole Mischabel massif!
You’ll find a 2-day itinerary below this description.
However, if you have more time and you wish to prolong the pleasure up there, I propose to you the following. Instead of descending right away to the valley, we can spend the night in the Weissmieshütte and continue the next day with the Lagginhorn, another beautiful 4000 in the region.
I invite you to contact me if you are interested in this beautiful adventure! It’s ideal for mountaineering beginners who wish to have their first experience at 4000m. I would love taking you up there.

I've devoted my last years to explore virgin mountain ranges as Cordillera de Carabaya, Cordillera Vilcanota, Cordillera de Yelcho, Quimza Cruz, Torres del Brujo, cordillera del Cerro Castillo, San Lorenzo, San Valentin and some others.
I am half of the year based at Chamonix and the other half in Aysen, around Villa Cerro Castillo, in Chile.

Pera es un guía excelente… todo el mundo lo conoce… tuvimos un percance con el clima, por lo cual estaba cerrado el Aiguille du Midi… y rápidamente nos ofreció alternativas, nos cruzamos para el lado italiano y subimos al Torino para realizar las caminatas sobre glaciar…. Una experiencia increíble, lo recomiendo de verdad…
Elena
Pera was great at communicating with me prior and during our climbing day. He chose the perfect location for the climbing goals and weather conditions and made sure I was always safe. I would definitely choose to climb with him again in the Swiss Alps or anywhere else!
Noah
Pere showed us the most amazing experience. It was my first time climbing outdoors, and first time climbing multi pitch. Pere was calm and super knowledgeable. He put us on a great route and gave us an experience that I truly will never forget. Thank you Pere!
A great day traversing the Drus from the Charpoua hut. No one on the route that day except us. The weather proved excellent. Perfect guiding and very secure climbing with Pere !
