Ski Tour above Grindelwald on the Reeti

The summit of Reeti (meaning “reddish mountain”) towers proudly above Grindelwald and presents the perfect vantage point for admiring the mighty peaks of the Eiger, Schreckhorn, and Wetterhorn. This ski tour begins at First, climbs past Bachalpsee, and traverses to a saddle where you have superb views down into the valley before hairpin kick turns take you to Reeti summit at 2756m. After taking a refreshment break and few photos of the panoramic view, you’ll descend over the Bachläger to Waldspitz where a warm coffee at the mountain restaurant concludes your tour.

Day 1: Ski Tour to Reeti 2756m

Meet your guide in Grindelwald and take the First cable car to the top, where you will begin your tour. First you will hike along the path to Bachalpsee and from there you will reach steeper terrain and begin to gain height. A traverse to the left leads you to the saddle from where you get your first views down to Grindelwald. Have a short pause here before sharp kick turns take you to the ridge where you scramble to the Reeti summit. After taking a refreshment break and few photos of the panoramic view, you’ll descend over the Bachläger to Waldspitz where a warm coffee at the mountain restaurant concludes your tour.
