This tour starts in Ringoldingen, from where you cross the Simme and gain the first meters of altitude via Lusbüel and Beibräche. Via Gelbergallmi, follow the forest road to Feldmöser through the forest. The route now climbs southwestwards through a steeper forest clearing until it reaches Rinderalp through a hollow. From here, it's another 250 meters up to the Pfaffen, which is conquered via a south-eastern slope. The descent follows the same route as the ascent.

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

  • Approach

    Along the cantonal road through the Simmental to Ringoldingen

  • By train to Ringoldingen: SBB.ch

  • There is a blue zone in Ringoldingen with few parking spaces.

  • Ringoldingen - Lusbüel - Beibräche - Gelbergallmi - Feldmöser - Rinderalp - Pfaffen - return

  • 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.

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