Oldenhorn (3123 m)

Sunday, September 16th, 2018
Valais, Geneva
We walk to the Glacier de Tsanfleuron, which we ascend to the Oldesattel. We take the rocky trail up the pyramidal Oldenhorn. At the summit we have 360° views including the Eiger and Mont Blanc. The summit is the triple point of the cantons of Vaud, Bern and Valais. We descend and continue up the glacier to the ski station, walk the Peak Walk suspension bridge to Sex Rouge, take the cable car down to Col du Pilon.
