Description

The ascent on touring skis from Fluhalp up to the Pfulwe takes around two hours. Arriving at the Pfulwe, you can enjoy panoramic views of some of the most incredible four-thousanders in the Alps - the Allalinhorn and Rimpfischhorn, the Monte Rosa massif, Matterhorn, Dent Blanche and as far as the Weisshorn. The effort of the ascent is worth it, as the descent that follows covers around 1,100 metres on powder snow slopes to Täschalp and then further downhill to Täsch. From Täsch, you can head back to Zermatt either by taxi or using the shuttle train.

  • For beginners and less experienced skiers
  • Peace and seclusion despite being accessible
  • Long, powder snow descent
