Beautiful view of the Aletsch Glacier.

The Great Aletsch Glacier is the largest and longest glacier in the Alps in terms of area. It is located on the southern slope of the Bernese Alps in the Swiss canton of Valais. The length of the glacier is 22.6 km, and the area is given as 78.49 km². The Aletsch Glacier drains into the Rhone via the Massa. The area of the entire catchment area of the Massa is 195 km², of which around two thirds were glaciated in 1973. The Upper and Middle Aletsch Glaciers are often included in the area figures, as they were previously connected to the Great Aletsch Glacier. The total glaciated area including these glaciers was around 128 km² in 1973, and an area of 163 km² is assumed for 1863.

Footpath to Mönchsjoch Hut

Highlight • Trail

If the Mönchsjochhütte is open and there is no fresh snow, you can easily hike to the Mönchsjochhütte and to the entrance to the Mönch.

Good footwear is also necessary on this route. The final meters to the Mönchsjochhütte can be very icy and steep.

Climbing the Mönch is only possible for experienced mountaineers or with a mountain guide.

Ascent to Mönchsjochhütte

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

At first, a hike to the Mönchsjochhütte does not seem too difficult. But with the thin air up here, it is quite tedious, the specified walking time of 45 min. observed. Nevertheless, highly recommended 👍🏼

View of Jungfraujoch

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you drive up to the Top of Europe on the Jungfrau Railway, you will experience a fascinating world. But should also take one of the first tracks in the morning to get his money. There is much offered. In addition, the thin air, here at over 3000m.ü.M, quite tired 😂 You can tell, if you take the first steps, coming from the train. And as Martin has already mentioned, sunglasses are a must, I had none at that time. But you can buy one there.

View of the Mönch

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Mönch stands in the middle of the world-famous Eiger-Mönch-Jungfrau trio. The 4107m high summit can be reached as a day trip from the Jungfraujoch. Depending on the conditions, it is also worth spending the night in the Mönchsjoch hut the day before so that you can tackle the tour early in the morning. In addition to the magnificent view, this tour offers varied gneiss climbing and a narrow snow ridge at the end. The summit tour of the Mönch is possible all year round in good conditions. Depending on the snow conditions, the approach is on foot, with skis or with snowshoes.

Tour only for experienced mountaineers or with a mountain guide!

Soft snow on a narrow ridge above the cornices forced us to turn back 20 metres early. But that counts too.

The climb was more difficult than expected.

After a coffee with the mountain guide we set off.

The weather was good and the path to the Mönchsjochhütte was level.

The weather forecast predicted fog on the summit around midday and snowfall in the evening. Expected wind speed 12 kmh.
