Description:The Zinalrothorn 4221m: It is a leaning 4000er, he is standing aslope :-), who has massiv and constant climbing at 3rd degree. Before you can even start your tour, you must cope with 1600m altitude difference (4-5 hours) to reach the Rothorn-Hut from Zermatt. The Rothorn-Hut at 3198m is an original (similar to the Tracuit-Hut), but often overcrowded.
After having achieved the Matterhorn, this time we had again the pleasure to use the climbing iron almost everytime. Not only more difficult but also more strenous. Today the condition was snowy and frosty. The Zinalrothorn is a classic alpin climbing peak with a lot of solid rocks. Binerplatte has several shiny
hooks which is quite comfortable and probably saved a lot of lifes.
