Anyone who wants to climb the highest peak entirely on Swiss territory needs leg strength and endurance. In total, 3,300 meters of elevation difference must be overcome, and no lift shortens the ascent or descent.
You earn the Dom honestly from the valley – you can crown the high mountain route with the scenic and combined ascent via the Festigrat.
