Skitour to the Tochuhorn (2648 m above sea level)

  • start: Simplon, top of the pass
  • destination: Tochuhorn

Ascent

Simplon Pass - You start on the Simplon Pass at 2,005 m and head west, across the plains past the hamlet of Hopsche into the traverse on the southern slope of the Tochuhorn. Later you turn in a north-westerly direction and continue up the valley between Tochuhorn and Straffelgrat (in a zigzag). The wide east ridge is now steep and on foot to the summit.

descent

Simplon Pass - The descent is via the ascent track. Depending on the assessment of the dangers, this can also vary.

Bielti / Simplonpass - In good and very safe conditions, instead of the traverse under the Tochuhorn, the descent down to Bielti is a good idea. At the end, this requires a return to the Simplon Pass of around 30 minutes.
