Route Climbed: Fee joch , NE-flank Date Climbed: 18 Aug 2005
Started from Längflue hut to Feejoch - Feechopf, Alphubeljoch and up the NE-flank. Returned to the Längflue over entire NE-flank. Good weather but huge crevasses.
Route Climbed: South East Date Climbed: 27 July 2005
Four people reached the summit on a clear morning of July. The upper part of the route had hard firn/broken ice that I estimated of a 45 grades inclination (aproximately 150 mtrs). Few people on the top. We descended by the normal sky route which is not so crevasses-free as I had expected.
Route Climbed: Eisnase (from Täschütte) Date Climbed: August 9, 2005
Magnificent day and a route in topconditions. The Eisnase itself was covered in excellent firn. Very beautifull ridge and magnificent views. It was so clear we could even see the Pizz Bernina-group from there.
Route Climbed: South east ridge Date Climbed: July 1st 2005
Alphubel was the second summit of our intended Mischabel Chain Traverse.
A thunderstorm forced Tuomas and I to set camp by the foot of the ridge the previous day. The ridge was in good condition although it was a bit icy on the upper part.
On the top we scaled the options since the storm had brought lots of snow on Täschhorn and Dom.
Our planned route over Täschhorn and Dom to Lensjoch would be in such bad condition that it would be too risky to attempt it. So we headed down to Täsch-hytte and to Täsch and made it to Zermatt the same day.
Route Climbed: Normal Route from Saas Fee Date Climbed: March 13, 2005
Excellent weather and wide view from the top. Somewhat complex micro-route finding through the glaciars from the piste to get to a wide avenue leading left (South) towards the summit. Suddenly gets steeper at around 4000m and skis must be deposited. Lack of recent snow made for a somewhat scetchy ascent over verglass onto the summit shelf. From there, back to softer snow. But two or three very large and scary bergshrunds made for a long zigzag ascent and a couple scary jumps across the ends. I had to do this part solo as my partner had bailed and I definitely would NOT recommend doing this part unroped!
Route Climbed: Normal from Langflue Date Climbed: 4 August 2003
The night was fantastic: we ( Valerio, Daniele, Luigi)woke up very early and in the darkness under a full-stars deep blue sky we start the wolking along the glacers.
Many crevasses, you need to be very careful.
In the last 300m when the path sloped up suddenly, under the rising sun was unbeliveable worm.
We reach the summit in 3:20.
Magnificent view all around, strange prospective on the Mischabel.
Route Climbed: Normal from Langflue haus at the cablestation Date Climbed: 27 August 2004
Together with my brother. Funny Flemish guy being the chief of the hut/restaurant at the cablestation. Very nice weather, quite warm. Day before 20 cm fresh snow had fallen. No track anymore. Start at the right side of the last ski-lift. Nice view again.
Route Climbed: SO Ridge from Alphubeljoch Date Climbed: Juli 2000
In a period of really bad weather we've made the Alphubel via the SO-Ridge. There are only 2 other people at the summit and no others at any other route to the alphubel. Seems to happen not so often ...
Route Climbed: ski route - east flank from Laengfluh Date Climbed: May 30th 1999
perfect snow conditions at the last day before closing of the Laengfluh hut. There were about 80 mostly italian climbers with us on the hut and most of them on the summit (where you could play soccer) - and everyone used his mobil phone!
Probably the most interesting way to climb the Alphubel, good introduction to ridge climbing. There is some tricky route finding on the upper part of the climb. Deffinitly worth doing if you are in the area.

Route Climbed: Normal from Mittelallalin Date Climbed: 1999It is a nice small ridge from Feejoch up to Alphubeljoch. You have to search for the summit, because it is a large plateau.

Route Climbed: From Metro Alpin via Feekopf Date Climbed: 1 March 2001Tried to reach the summit with skis, but left them
soon at the rocky ridge. Continued on foot through
sometimes deep snow over feejoch (crevasses!)
Sunny day with strong wind -> freeeeezing
Beautiful view on Matterhorn all the way to Mt.Blanc.
