Fletschhorn-Lagginhorn Traverse


We traversed these 2 peaks over the weekend.

Early September weather is providing fine weather for alpine climbing on these Alps. It is actually quite hot, with 0 degrees close to 4000 meters most of the days. The forecast is calling for good weather until Thursday, when the Foehn should predominate.

The Fletschhorn-Lagginhorn Traverse is a 10 hour PD route with a luxurious cable car descent. It's a great way to climb 2 4000er's in a day. (Well, the Fletschhorn is only 3997.3) It is varied, offering nice ice, easy rock climbing, and plenty of rubble-trash to traverse.
