Wild High Level Route - day 1 - Wildhorn Hut (Monday 17th March)

25th March 2008

Wildhorn Hut, SwitzerlandWildhorn Hut, Switzerland
ascent : 719 m, descent : 0 m
This was the first day of our Wild High Level Tour with Claire and Neil with Julie-Ann Clyma as guide along with some other clients. The original plan was to ride the lifts at Les Diablerets, ski down to the Col du Sanetch and climb the Arpelistock but this wasn’t really practical as weather conditions were appalling and the avalance risk was too high. So, the fallback was to take a trains and taxis around to Lenk then get a taxi up to the roadhead at Iffigenalp (1584m), from there we climbed in fairly poor conditions with high humidity to the Wildhorn Hut (2303m).

We were the only group staying in the Wildhorn Hut, not surprising given the weather really! It was a cold and damp location really but adequate to spend the night.
