Description

The ascent with touring skis from Fluhalp to Pfulwe takes about two hours. Once at Pfulwe, you get a panoramic view of some of the most impressive 4,000-meter peaks of the Alps: Allalinhorn and Rimpfischhorn, Monte Rosa massif, Matterhorn, Dent Blanche, all the way to Weisshorn. The effort of the ascent is worthwhile because then follows the descent with about 1,100 meters in altitude on powder snow slopes down to Täschalp and then further down to Täsch. From Täsch you can return to Zermatt either by taxi or shuttle train.
