Day 1: The Gehrihore 2130m

You will meet your guide and take the chair lift from Kiental to Ramslauenen. From there you will begin a leisurely climb over the Horewald, where you will really begin to gain height. Near the top you will deposit your skis and cover the last bit on foot as you go over the ridge and reach the Gehrihore summit. A break on the summit gives you time to quickly recharge and enjoy views of Blüemlisalp and other nearby peaks. Snow conditions permitting, you will ski down to Reichenbach. If conditions do not allow for this, you will descend via the Farni valley back into Kiental, where you will travel back by bus or train.
