- After having climbed several peaks recently over 3000 meters, it was time to tackle one over 4000. I found a place in Switzerland where there are two such peaks which are not too difficult to climb: Lagginhorn (4 010 m) and Weissmies (4 017 m).
To find out how to conquer this type of peak solo, but also to see the magnificent views of the Swiss Alps please watch this video.

Here is my latest video relating the ascent of Eiger by the easiest route: czcams.com/video/9MuMFYU1EEU/video.html
As always, nice and inspiring video for me that usually have to go alone to the mountains. The experience of going alone is something that makes you stronger. Thanks you

So grateful to have stumbled upon ur channel! We are planning to go here with my friend, what month did u do this hike? Thank you
Thank you very much for your feedback. I did it at the beginning of August. I wish you good luck and keep us posted on the outcome of your adventure. Is it the first 4000 m peak for you?
Great video 👍
We've just released a brand new video dedicated to winter hiking, showcasing the breathtaking landscapes of Swiss Alps.

Experience the serene beauty of winter like never before!
Very inspiring video. Is special climbing gear (ropes, crampons, ...) Not required in this summit or was it just luck that there was almost no snow?
Thank you very much for your comment and question. In the summer this summit does not require any special equipment. But you must stay careful, the weather can change suddenly like always in the mountains.
well it depends on the time of the year and snow conditions. most likely you will need at least crampons and a simple ice axe for the final steep snowfield below the summit (not shown in this video). sometimes in late summer its possible to reach the summit without touching snow when snowfield has gone or you can navigate around it. but you never know, so better crampons and iceaxe
6:52 Même à 4000 mètres d'altitude, il faut que tout ce qui ressemble à un poteau soit recouvert d'autocollants. Impressionnant.
C'est plus facile que de graver ses initiales dans la pierre ;-)
@@never-too-late Certes :-).
très beau
Merci !
I want to climb my first 4000er next summer, i have already climbed 3500m peaks but no 4000 yet, so i was wondering if this one would be doable for someone who doesnt have much experience
Yes, the Lagginhorn is an easy 4000m peak, but remember to be prepared for a quick change of weather and even in summer you can cross some snowy passages. Good luck!
Est-ce qu’il est compliqué à gravir, À la fin, on doit être en cordée ?
Non, si vous suivez la même voie que moi, l'ascension n'est pas compliquée. Il n'est pas nécessaire d'être en cordée, sauf si vous choisissez un itinéraire plus difficile qui le requiert.
@@never-too-late d’accord et vous avez trouvé la voie comment ? Sur Internet, avec une carte. Parce que une fois sur place, comment fait-on pour passer là où vous êtes passés ?c’est baliser?
La voie est assez claire et suit le relief naturel du terrain. Pour vous aider à suivre le même parcours, j'ai inclus dans la description de la vidéo un lien où vous pouvez télécharger le fichier GPX. Avec ce fichier, vous pourrez utiliser un GPS ou une application mobile compatible pour vous guider sur le chemin que nous avons emprunté.
Great and inspiring video! Never did solo hiking though=). How many hours in average does it take to hike from Saas-Grund to Hohsaas Hut? And how many hours doest it take to hike from Hohsaas hut to Lagginhorn peak? Is this trekking well labeled so I can go solo as well? Thinking to travel soon to Saas-Grund. Thank you😀
I do not remember exactly but you can download the GPS track from the link in the description. Use Google Earth to see the distance and the level difference, the time will depend on you, everybody walks at their own pace. Till the hut the path is marked after you follow the traces, in the summer there are lots of people. If not use the GPS. Good luck!!!
@@never-too-late Thank you! Will check reference pages! Have a safe adventures. Be assured you have one subscriber from Kazakhstan :)
Could you comment on the performance of simond makalu alpine tent you used? I am interested in that single wall tent. Thanks
In my opinion it is a very good tent for winter. You need to keep door half open to avoid condensation. It was cheap but not anymore 😞. You can see how I use it in my videos czcams.com/video/sl1QM_VIzV8/video.html
czcams.com/video/BgiSS5ZPAaY/video.html
And many more :-)
One more question: can it withstand strong gust?
It holds up well, but is very noisy like any tent in the wind. The side walls touch your sleeping bag there is no attachment point in the middle like with MSR. One more point, it's floor is very slippery, so the platform must be very flat otherwise you will slip with your mattress.
nice and relaxed tour :) how do you like the simond tent so far?
Thanks, the tent is great, it can only be used in certain weather conditions (dry and cold)
@@never-too-late thanks for the reply mate! so most certainly for the higher spectrum of altitude :) for wet conditions we have a proper tent already. thanks!
I really hate that tunnel. It's too dark and too long 😁
When you come from the north you don't have too many choices except to add 100 km :-(
@@never-too-late 😁 we tried going over the pass once it nearly killed our car
The music is very annoying. I can hardly understand what you are saying. The pictures are good, but please remove the music.
Thank you for your feedback. I understand your concerns regarding the music in the video. It's possible that the issue might also be influenced by the sound system used for playback. I have taken your feedback into account and adjusted the music volume in my latest videos. I invite you to check them out and let me know if you find the sound balance better. Your input is invaluable in improving the viewing experience for everyone.
Not very wise to climb 4000 m. in shorts.
I have long Gore-Tex pants in my backpack :-)
Why not?I like it as well..
😄The place on the peak where to small to build the tent ..😂
If you REALLY want to build your tent once on a Mountain Top ...try it at the Mont Blanc Summit , because there is PLANTY of space .
The Mont Blanc is a Dream of mine to climb
You are right, this one is too small :-( As you have certainly noticed in my different videos, usually I left my tent under the summit, too heavy to carry :-)
@@never-too-late Hi !
You have my respect for sure!
I wouldn't have dared to do that at the age of 55 and in good shape.
First of all, my dream would be the Lagginhorn in Valais, that would be within the realm of possibility.
I've already done something like that (mountain tours in Switzerland)
but no 4000s ..
Everyone has to go at their own pace, there's no point in comparing performance with each other, especially in the mountains. Dare to live your dreams, life is too short but it's never too late to wake up. I wish you lots of success in achieving your goals.
