With or without using the ski lifts

From the top of the ski lifts of Bürchen the route follows a wide valley to reach a col in the main ridge. Continuning on this ridge brings you to the summit. A very popular ski tour. Even if the cable cars and ski-lifts are closed for the season, the ski tour can be made; the starting point then is the village of Bürchen. Often there is still enough snow.
