Weissmies Huts

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Weissmies Hut of the SAC Olten Section is located at 2,726 meters above sea level on a sunny terrace above Saas Grund. With panoramic views of 18 four-thousand-meter peaks, it is one of the most beautifully situated mountain huts in Valais.

It is the starting point for the four-thousand-meter peaks Weissmies and Lagginhorn, the nearly four-thousand-meter Fletschhorn, the sport climbing routes on the Jegihorn South Face, the highest via ferrata in the Alps, and the Gspon High Trail.

Jegihorn Via Ferrata

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The panoramic via ferrata runs against a backdrop that is unparalleled even in Switzerland; rock and ice, peaks and ridges are constantly in view. Unless your eyes happen to be searching for the next hold. This is usually exactly where it is needed.

Jegihorn Summit

Highlight • Summit

Via the via ferrata (C/D) up to the summit of the Jegihorn, a fantastically beautiful scramble in absolutely wonderful surroundings. The view of the 4000m peaks in Wales is an absolute pleasure.
