nice peaks in Switzerland
Posted: Sat May 04, 2013 7:30 pm
HI mountain experts,
I have some experience with via ferrata: http://www.summitpost.org/tour-d-a/212075, Champery al up to class D and hiked this 'mountain' http://www.summitpost.org/dent-du-jaman/151615. But now i want to take it op a notch. So I am looking for spectacular (possibly 3000+) peaks in Switzerland, They should be hikable and scramble able, YDS class 1 en 2 for starting and later on class 3 maybe 4, and no dangerous glacier. goal is to get better in 'climbing' and eventually climb more, higher and more exposure beneath my feet because that is what makes my blood flow! so starting with some easier stuff and ending with some heavier peaks.
I am based in Lausanne so the valais en Bernese mountains and maybe the Charmonix region are preffered. And preferably 1 day hikes from lausanne, but a stay in a hut with shower and food is also fine for longer hikes.
my eye has fallen on these mountains:
http://www.summitpost.org/cornettes-de-bise/151416 always starring at me from lausanne... is this one reachable without climbing?
http://www.summitpost.org/sasseneire/154049
http://www.summitpost.org/barrhorn/429662 this one looks great but is it reachable without equipment looks really snowy So if i am correct the turtmann route is easy F (facile) and the topali route has a via ferrata and is just a little bit harder PD- (peu difficile -)
but of course you guys and girls have much better suggestions for me!
THANK YOU SO MUCH WITH HELPING ME FORWARD WITH THIS GREAT PASSION!!!
