View of the Bishorn Glacier

Highlight • Viewpoint

The glacier flows down from the Bishorn. He has pulled back strongly in recent years. Unfortunately he does it like all other glaciers too.

From the "Gässli", the exciting trail from the Turtmannhütte in the direction of the Barrhorn summit, you have a great view of the two reservoirs below you in the valley. Both are fed by the meltwater of the Turtmann Glacier and the Brunnegg Glacier.

Gässi Pass Section

Highlight • Mountain Pass

On the ascent to the Barrhorn, the path leads through the Gässi - a section classified as T3 - where sure-footedness and a head for heights should not be foreign words. The section is secured with wire ropes.

Turtmann Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

In 1928, the Turtmannhütte was built on a stony grassy ridge at the top of the Turtmann Valley. Here it stands at an altitude of 2,519 meters, making it the perfect base for touring the Brunegg and Turtmann glaciers. In addition, many exciting peaks in sight - including the Barrhorn. The 3,610-meter-high mountain is the highest Swiss peak, which you can climb without high altitude equipment.

Ascent to the Turtmann Hut

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

the ascent to the Turtmannhütte is very beautiful and varied. From the Turtmannhütte it goes up to the Barrhorns (Outer Barrhorn 3610 m). Overnight stays in the hut with or without dinner or breakfast. On some weekends in summer it is advisable to reserve.
