Ski mountaineering route to Galehorn (2797 m above sea level)

Ascent

Engeloch – From Engeloch, head west over the Chrummbach bridge at Chluismatta and ascend over the Alpstafel and the following slope on the left bank of the Ritzibach via the Wysse Bode (2,113 m). The steep slope at the end of the ground is overcome east (left) of the waterfall via the ramp. Above the rock ridge, cross the Ritzibach and ascend in a small hollow towards Sirwoltesattel (2,621 m). To the summit, continue right to the north.

Simplon Pass – The Galehorn is also easily accessible from Simplon Pass via Hopsche on the Spitzhorli route. At 2,180 m, leave the route and cross under the Straffel ridge the slope and the valley of the Bistinepass. At the foot of the north face of the Galehorn, continue to Magelicke.

Descent

Engeloch – The descent follows the ascent track. Depending on the hazard assessment, this can also vary. Under good and safe conditions, a brisk and steep descent through the Ritzitälli is possible. 

Simplon Pass – The descent follows the ascent track. Depending on the hazard assessment, this can also vary. Under good and very safe conditions, the descent down to Bielti is possible. 

Egga – Return to Sirwoltesee as on ascent. Then a roughly 1 to 1½-hour re-ascent to the saddle right of Wyssbodehorn at about 2,600 m follows. This effort is rewarded by a long, beautiful descent down to 1,500 m. From the saddle before Wyssbodehorn, follow the hollow until the rock face of Schildhorn allows crossing to Rossbodenalp. From here, head right over Furghalta and Stosbodu quickly to the alpine huts on Rossbodestafel.
