Day 1: Ascent to the Gleckstein hut 2317m

From Grindelwald or from the parking lot at the Hotel Wetterhorn, take the bus in the direction of Grosse Scheidegg to the Abzweig Gleckstein bus stop. From here an impressive hut trail leads along the upper Grindelwald glacier to the Gleckstein hut. With a bit of luck, you’ll be able to observe ibex up close on the hut wall in the evening. Shortly before dinner you will meet your mountain guide at the hut.

Day 2: Ascent of the Rosenhorn 3689m

From the hut you will follow the blue and white marked path to Beesibärgli. By the light of your headlamp you’ll climb until you reach the edge of the glacier. You’ll continue up a wide glacier surface until you reach Rosenegg at 3470m. The final part leads you over an easy ridge to the Rosenhorn summit at 3689m. From this vantage point you will have indescribable views of the Mittlehorn, Wetterhorn, Fiescherhörner, Eiger, Mönch, and the valley of Grindelwald. You’ll either descend along the same path or take the “uber die Augen” route down and back to the Gleckstein hut. Here you will enjoy a piece of cake before beginning the descent to Grindelwald in the afternoon.
