투르트만-운테렘스 최고의 등산 경로

Possibility to stop for refreshments and overnight stays on the ascent or descent from the Domhütte... in reality, you usually just drink a beer and continue on - as in our case (climbing the Dom in August 2025).

The summit tour to the Dom starts in Randa in the Matter Valley. Parking is available in the village (e.g., in the parking garage at the train station) and there's the opportunity to refill your water supplies before the strenuous climb to the Domhütte.

I did this hike in early May 2024, just a few days after the ski season was over and the slopes had closed. The valley was completely deserted and it felt magical! The peaks were still covered in snow, but the first signs of spring were beckoning. On the final stretch to Lac d'Arpitetta, I was wading through snow up to my knees. Without proper gear I couldn’t get any farther than the small lake. The view on that crystal-clear spring day was absolutely fantastic! Check the picture I uploaded with all the peak names added.

Stone towers are often erected in the mountains as additional signposts or orientation points. Here in the forest, right next to the hiking trail, they hardly serve that function. Instead, there are a whole bunch of them, which is quite amusing to look at.

Beautiful little valley

great hike

The path leads beautifully around the glacier reservoir with wonderful views of the glacier

The Barrhorn is the highest hikeable peak in Switzerland. From the summit you have a wonderful panoramic view
