After gearing up at Jungfraujoch (3454m), the top of the Jungfrau Railway, begin your ski descent down the gentle Jungfraufirn glacier before making a 500m ascent (2 hours) of the Louwihorn (3773m). From the summit a long glaciated descent leads you to the Konkordia hut, where you use exposed metal ladders to reach the hut (2850m).
