The ultimate Haute Route ski tour for those who likes long nice runs.
Every day we are rewarded with a run down that is 1000 meter vertical or more.
We spend the nights in nice huts with half board service. In that way we can walk and ski with light backpacks.

- Day 2: Monday, Preparation day in EngelbergWe do a shorter ski tour in the area. A perfect time to check all the equipment to make sure everything is ok. It also gives the guide a chance to see how you ski. We prepare our lunches for the tour, check what's in our backpacks, etc. We sleep at the hotel in Engelberg this night.
- Day 3: Tuesday, Realp (1 540 m) – Albert Heim Hütte (2 543 m)The first day of the tour we take the train from Engelberg to Realp, located just beyond Andermatt. We have lunch before we start walking towards Albert Heim Hut. If we have the strength, we can continue to go towards Galenstock and get a nice ride down.
- Day 4: Wednesday, Albert Heim Hütte (2 543m) – Chelenaalphütte (2 350m)We begin the day with a small downhill to the start of the first ascent for the day. We walk about 500 meters altitude until we reach Winterlücke. From there we ski down directly to Göcheneralpsee. 1000 glorious meters. We then continue into Chelenaalptal towards the hut, about 500 meters more.
- Day 5: Thursday, Chelenaalphütte (2 350 m) – Steingletcher (1 865 m)We start directly with the skins on the skis and go aim for Sustenlimi, about 700 meters ascend. Here we can choose whether we want to continue moving towards the top of Sustenhorn, 3500 meters, or just ski down via Steigletcher to tonight's accommodation at the bottom of the valley.
- Day 6: Friday, Steingletcher (1 865 m) – Süstlihütte (2 257 m)We are moving towards Fünffingerstock but go via the pass Obertaljoch (about 2 850 m). Here are more choices down to Sustlibach. Last bit to the hut we have to put our skins back on.
- Day 7: Saturday, Süstlihütte (2 257 m) – Engelberg (1 000 m)Last day. It begins with moving uphill against Grassengrat/Stössensattel – about 600 meters ascent. After that it's just downhill... Maybe this week's best ride. We have 1800 meters downhill. Once down in the valley we take the local bus back to Engelberg.
