Day 1: Jungfraujoch- Äbeniflue -3,962 Meters Map

Program: 'After a welcome from the mountain guide on the Jungfraujoch, it will be time prepare for your two-day tour. A safety/avalanche transceiver briefing will refresh your knowledge in the use of emergency equipment before you enter this fascinating high-alpine environment. From the Jungfraujoch, you will ski over the wide projecting Jungfraufirn down to the Konkordiaplatz. Against a backdrop of the Mönch, Jungfrau, Aletschhorn, Gross Grünhorn and Fiescherhorn peaks, you will then make your way in a gentle ascent over the Grosser Aletschfirn toward Lötschenlücke. After this, it's just a few more steps to the Hollandia Hut at 3,235 meters, our camp for the evening. (Distance: 6.5 km. Hiking time: 2.5 hours; Ascent: 550 vertical meters).'
