Event Information
Description
The Dammastock is the highest peak in Central Switzerland and the canton of Uri and offers a magnificent view. Our route runs the entire length of the Rhone Glacier, from the end to the impressively extensive nutrient area. From the summit we enjoy a magnificent panorama. A racy but long high-altitude ski tour for ski mountaineers in good physical condition. Program: We meet at 02.00 in the Uri lowlands. The meeting point will be determined in advance. We will travel together in a minibus via Göschenen, Andermatt, Realp over the Furka Pass to the former Hotel Belvédère (2269m). Still in the light of our headlamps, we walk to the end of the Rhone Glacier, where we put on our skins and skis, about ½ hour. We walk meditatively from darkness into the day and enjoy how the impressive glacier landscape reveals itself more and more. We climb past the Galen-, Tälli- and Tiefenstock towards Triftlimi, where we ascend from Grossfirn towards Eggfirn. We reach a small plateau between the snowy massif and our summit destination and a breathtaking view opens up of the Göscheneralp and large parts of the Uri, Bernese and Valais Alps. Depending on the snow conditions, we make a ski depot and climb the mountain with crampons or we climb with skis to the summit of the Dammastock (3630m), approx. 5 hours. We enjoy the fantastic panorama and take a welcome break. This is followed by a long descent over wide slopes and impressive glacier surfaces, if possible down to the lake at the glacier tongue of the Rhone Glacier, approx. 2 ½ hours. The short ascent finally takes us back to the Hotel Belvédère (2269m) to our vehicle, approx. ½ hour drive to the Berghotel Tiefenbach, where we hope to celebrate a successful tour with coffee and cake. and cake to celebrate a successful tour.
