Mountain hikes in Grächen St. Niklaus

The Outer Barrhorn is considered the highest hiking summit in Switzerland. The traverse from the Mattertal via the Topalihütte is somewhat challenging but far more interesting than the normal ascent from the Turtmannhütte.

The Üsser Barrhorn is considered the highest hiking summit in Switzerland. As a crossing with an overnight stay at the Topalihütte, the route is particularly varied!

The Europaweg is one of the most beautiful and impressive long-distance hiking trails in Switzerland. It was established in 1997 by the municipalities of St. Niklaus, Grächen, Randa, Täsch, and Zermatt and connects Grächen and Zermatt via a spectacular high-altitude trail offering unique views of the Valais Alps.

First stage of the Nadelhorn crossing: Scenic hut approach from Gasenried to the Bordier hut

Challenging mountain route up to the SAC Bordier hut

Challenging alpine hike to the SAC Bordier hut. The ascent is rewarded with a fantastic view.

The Haute Route is a multi-day route across the Valais Alps. We bypass the glaciers and make the classic traverse from west to east without rope or ice axe. 

Direct and beautiful approach to the Bordier Hut (SAC) through the changing glacier landscape, along the glacier gate (status 2023) - without glacier equipment.
