Ski Tour Hundshorn
At nearly 3000m, and with multiple ascents and descents, this ski tour in the Schilthorn area will start your day with variety, scenery, and action. From the Schilthorn you will descend on a ridge by foot, carrying your skis briefly before your first ski descent to Rote Härd. A mellow ridge climb will then lead you to the Hundshorn at 2929 meters where you will take a quick break before skiing down to the Rotstock Hut. Another climb takes you to Wasenegg, and the final descent completes your tour in either Mürren or Gimmelwald.
