This ski tour starts at Iffigenalp. The route climbs gently to Groppi. The Iffigtal valley, with the Hohberg on the right and the steep flanks of the Mittaghorn on the left, is spectacular at any time of year. From Groppi it gets steeper until you reach the frozen Iffigsee. From the lake it is a good 300m to the Iffighorn, where a breathtaking panorama awaits. To the south, the Schnidehorn and Wildhorn, to the north the Betelberg and the Spillgerten. What is the best part of every ski tour? The well-deserved descent, of course! After the Profiant has been eaten and the summit wine drunk, enjoy the descent over the long ridge of the Hohberg before turning left towards Pöris. Now the terrain becomes increasingly wooded. The descent ends after approx. 1100m at the former Alpenrösli restaurant.

Classification according to the SAC difficulty scale for ski tours: WS-

  • Approach

    You can drive from Lenk to Hubelmatte. Driving from Hubelmatte to Iffigenalp is prohibited in winter. The 4x4 cab will take you to Iffigenalp with a special permit and pick you up again at Alpenrösli.

  • By train to Lenk. Timetable: SBB. The 4x4 cab will take you to Iffigenalp with a special permit and pick you up again.

  • There are very few parking spaces available at Hubelmatte. It is therefore best to park in the village of Lenk and from there take a 4x4 cab to Iffigenalp.

  • Iffigenalp - Iffigsee - Iffighore - Hohberg - Pöris - Alpenrösli

  • The appropriate equipment and the necessary specialist knowledge (avalanche awareness, alpine skills) are mandatory for ski tours! If you have no experience in assessing the avalanche situation in open terrain, it is better to go on a ski tour with a trained mountain guide/snow sports instructor.

  • As with any ski tour, you need an avalanche transceiver, probe, shovel and crampons.

  • If there is little snow in the lower areas, you can only ski down to Hubelmatte.
