Highlights

  • Summit two iconic 4,000m peaks in the Swiss Alps: Weissmies and Lagginhorn.
  • Enjoy comfortable mountain hut stays with spectacular alpine views.
  • Experience expert guidance from an IFMGA-certified mountain guide throughout the expedition.

Description

On this 3 day expedition, you will get the chance to climb 2 wonderful mountains in the Swiss Alps: Weissmies (4,017m) and Lagginhorn (4,010m).

Both Weissmies and Lagginhorn present their own set of challenges and great views from their summits.

The trip will begin in the beautiful resort village of Saas Fee (1,670m). From Saas Fee, we will take a scenic hike through the mountains to the Almagellerhutte (2,894m). We will spend the night in the hut, which is very comfortable, and offers some great evening views. On the following day, we will make our ascent to the summit of Weissmies via the south-west ridge. After you’ve enjoyed the views, we will then descend down the north-west face to the Weissmieshutte (2,726m). Like the previous night’s hut, the Weissmieshutte is very comfortable, and will give you ample opportunity to rest and recuperate. Finally, on the last day, we will make our way to the summit of the Lagginhorn via the west ridge, before descending back to Saas Fee.

Both Weissmies and Lagginhorn, while not extremely arduous, are still challenging climbs. As a result, participants on this trip should have previous climbing experience. You should also be in good physical condition as well.

Do you want to enjoy a memorable climbing adventure in the Alps? Do you want to climb not 1, but 2 great peaks? Then send me a request, and let me guide you to the summits of Weissmies and Lagginhorn. I know you’ll have an unforgettable experience.

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 !
