This interesting route is very popular today. From the Täschhütte you climb the Alphubel glacier to the Alphubeljoch. Then if the condition of the redge is good we follow the SE-ridge (Eisnase) to Alphubel (4206m) summit
PD | 1505 m | 4-5 hrs |
From the Täsch hut (2701 m), a mountain path leads a slight ridge beside a third that leads up hill to the right (S) of the Chummibodmen (2876 m). Further up the trail meanders through some larger blocks and finally reaches the Alphubelgletscher at about 3260 m. Now follow Alphubelgletscher and romp up to gain the Alphubeljoch, 1.00-1.30 hrs. In good conditions, from the Alphubeljoch (3771 m), follow the intially ridge. After this the ridge widens, but becomes steeper. Known as the “ice nose”. Climb the nose up onto the wide summit cap and horizontally over to the highest point (4206 m), 1.00- 1.30 hrs. Variant: When the ridge is icy, if so consider crossing the E-flank of the Alphubel towards P.3854 and then cut back through some large crevasses to approach the summit from NE; this is the ‘normal route from SaasFee’.
