Gsteig - Walliser Wispile (1982 M.a.s.l)

The tour starts in Gsteig and runs first along the "Innere Saaligrabe" and then along the "Ussere Saaligrabe" towards "Chrine". The tour leads uphill through idyllic winter landscapes and through the fir forest. After the Chrine Pass, the tour continues below the western side of the ridge to the "Hinderi Wispile". From here the ascent continues south and to the flat summit of the Walliser Wispile. The ascent is rewarded with a magnificent panorama of the surrounding mountain landscape as well as the charming little village of Gsteig deep down in the valley. Particularly impressive is the imposing pyramid of the Spitzhorn, which rises directly in front of the tour participants. After a short (or even a little longer) break, the reward is a beautiful descent back down into the valley. This leads either along the ascent track, if you want another route, "Vorderi Wispile" and "Längmatte" back to Gsteig. Alternatively you can go down the other side to Lauenen. The ski tour can also be started from Lauenen.
