When do the trips take place?
Tours run daily throughout the summer season, from early July until the snow arrives at the end of September. Many departures fill up quickly, so get in touch as soon as you know you want to go. It is also possible to set up your own departures on request. Usually there are two guests per guide – plenty of room for personal attention all the way to the top.

Equipment
Bring a backpack of at least 30 liters, stiff and ankle-high mountain boots (that can withstand crampons and provide support in rough terrain), insulating and wind- and waterproof clothing, a hat and mittens, and plenty of food and drink – preferably in a thermos – for a long day in the high mountains. Remember sunglasses for the glacier crossing, even when it is forecast to be cloudy. The glacier equipment you need – crampons, harness, ice axe and helmet – will be handed out and you carry it in your own backpack.
