Jungfraujoch

The tough omega situation is wobbling and the warm, sunny weather is coming to an end for the time being towards the weekend. With cold air from the north and the chance of low pressure developing in the Mediterranean, it could even get quite wintry again, but the details are still unclear. In any case, it will become increasingly unstable from today and the dry, reliable firn phase will be over for the time being.

An easy ski tour in an impressive UNESCO World Heritage landscape took us to the Jungfraujoch in the Bernese Alps in mid-April. So that we could experience the tour without stress and haste, we opted for a 2-day tour with an overnight stay at the Konkordiahütte instead of a day tour. With an easy ascent of just 440 m and a 16 km descent from the Lötschenlücke at 3,170 m to 1,540 m on the second day of the tour, the focus is clearly on the descent.
