This summit is relatively easy to reach from Engstligenalp. From the starting point of the tour at the Engstligenalp cable car mountain station, the route first leads across the entire plateau before the actual ascent begins. The ascent to the Ammertenspitz begins slightly uphill and becomes steeper before reaching the ridge. It is not far from the ridge to the summit. The view of the Wildstrubel and Gletscherhorn is simply brilliant. At the top, the 360° panorama is almost unbeatable, because now the view to the north, into the Simmental and Engstligtal valleys, is also unobstructed. The descent towards the Ammertal valley and on to the Simmen Falls is very rewarding in good snow conditions.


Classification according to the SAC difficulty scale for ski tours: from Engstligenalp and back: WS, descent through the Ammertal valley to Lenk: ZS+

  • Approach

    Through the Simmental valley to Lenk and the Stand-Xpress valley station.

  • From Lenk via the Metsch ski area to Chuenisbärgli, then by bus to below the Birg. Take the cable car to Engstligenalp.

    Return by bus from the Simmen Falls to the Stand-Xpress.

  • At the Stand-Xpress Lenk valley station.

  • Triescht - Schönbüel - Ammertepass

  • 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.

  • In good conditions, you can ski from the ski lift towards Schönbühl, making the tour a little easier.
