Day 1: Summit ski tour to the Allalinhorn 4027m
Meet your guide at the bus terminal in Saas Fee and make your way to the Mittelallalin at 3'457m. From here you will have eyes on your summit goal. You will put on your skins and begin your ascent, first crossing the ski slope, hiking over the glacier, and then moving up towards the summit. At the top you will be rewarded with views of local peaks and will have time to enjoy a snack from your backpack before your descent. In good snow conditions, you will ski down to Saas Fee for a race down the slopes.
