Bifertenstock, 3419 m: by the famous Bänderweg

Switzerland - Europe

Bifertenstock / Piz Durschin, 3419 m - Bifertenstock / Piz Durschin, 3419 m, by the so called Bänderweg
22.07 - 23.07.2023
The Bifertenstock or Piz Durschin is with 3419 m the second highest Glarus summit. His ascent via the impressive and extremely airy Beltweg is a mountain experience of the extra class.
The Bänderweg (Beltway) on the Bifertenstock is unparalleled. If you stand at the beginning of the volume at the first kettle, it takes a moment to capture the dimensions. Once on the exposed and in some places very airy ribbon way the view falls over steep limestone plains directly into the wild Val Frisal and almost takes your breath away. The last few meters over a steep snowfield and secured with a chain and pins plate leads to the east ridge. On the summit we will be rewarded with a magnificent view of the Tödi, the Selbsanft and in the distance all the famous peaks of the Alpine arc.

Your advantages at a glance:

- most beautiful mountain view between Grisons Oberland and Glarus
- airy climbing through two wild cauldrons across the famous Bänderweg
- maximum 2 guests for optimal care and maximum security
- cozy and newly extended Bifertenhütte
- in Grisons we are at home, here we know each other!

This tour can be booked as a private tour on any date!
