Niesengrat / Challenging Ridge Hike/ From Niesen Via Fromberghorn to Mäggisserenhorn / Bernese Alps

Niesengrat / Niesenkette is Absolute classic among alpine ridge hikes in Switzerland. Starting from Niesen hiking via Fromberghorn North Ridge, Drunegalm, Standhore, Steinschlaghore, Tschipparällehore ending with Mäggisserenhorn. Ridge continues further all the way to Adelboden / Ending with Albristhorn.. It is about 21km long ridge, more technically difficult then Brienzergrat for example. But we have decided to descend to Frutigen. Maybe next time we are gonna do the next part.
On the ridge we are moving on the whole hiking scale of difficulties, from T3, T4 to T5+, easy scrambling parts, most difficult may be the Fromberghorn North Ridge - very exposed.
It needs good physical condition, a lot of water in the summer and the insect is pretty annoying as well, so maybe consider some repellent.

Thank you very much!!!

[@fredrando_ch9312]

thanks a lot Patrik I drew a virtual tour on my maps but that's clearly above my fitness level and confidence I can do a t5 but not along a 23km and 2600D+ tour like I planned from Frutigen to Niesen all on the ridge lol "aim for the moon" as they say >< very helpful thanks for sharing in this video you show parts I know I would have turned back because I already did in similar places

[@ecirtapx]

Magnifique video, bravo, et très bien filmé!

[@berggeist0079]

Eine Wahnsinnstour, ich bewundere eure Energie. Und was für eine weibliche Begleitung, da hat «Mann» seine richtige Frau ausgesucht bzw. gefunden. Wer macht schon solche extremen «Wanderungen» mit! Viel Spass weiterhin. LG Hanspeter

[@patrikfusko]

vielen dank, es ist naturlich sehr nett, solche komentare zu lesen, es motieviert uns wirklich es weiter so machen, unsere touren, videos mit anderen gleich orientierenden Leuten teilen, das macht uns wirklich Spass.. und ja wir passen super zusammen, kann ich mich jederzeit in jede Situation auf Teri verlassen. Schone Grusse Patrik&Terezia

[@vega1824]

Schöne Eindrücke. Wir wollen Mäggishore bis Steinschlaghore am Wochenende laufen und ich hatte schon gewissen Befürchtungen bei diesem Abschnitt. Mit eurem Video hilft es mir sehr das besser einzuschätzen - vielen Dank!

[@EpicTrailsandTales]

Great video!

[@nin_op0859]

Nice Video
Very nice ridge

[@Rosu17]

Once again a perfect video. Thanks a lot. This will be my next tour. Looking very much forward to it.

[@Rosu17]

I did it yesterday, It was super cool, but at some spots really exposed. The descend from Mägisserhorn to Frutigen was very tough on my knees. Thanks again for your footage. Well done.

[@damnbadger8242]

Well filmed as usual! 2700m. total descend; ouch my feet! :-o

[@patrikfusko]

thanks a lot!! we could've feel the feet allright.. but unfortunately no time for rest, next day work :P

[@trudidolder6122]

Ja, das sind Erlebnisse an welche ich mich gerne erinnere. Am Steinschlaghore fanden wir einmal ein Steinadler Horst. Maeggiseren Skirennen ist auch eine nette Erinnerung. Schade, dass der Abstieg nach Frutigen nicht zu sehen war. Vielen Dank fuer das aeusserst interessante Video. von einem Heimweh Frutiger in den USA

[@AdamA991]

Hi. Great trip, good job.

[@patrikfusko]

Hey, thanks!

[@01Jani]

Beautiful!
I have a question… i am hiking a lot and often but most of the time T4 or less. There i have no problems, would you say this tour could be a possible first T5 to try or do you have a better tip for T5 beginning? Thx and go one with this awsome videos…✌️

[@patrikfusko]

Hi there! thanks a lot!! the only challenge here would be the North ridge on Fromberghorn, Wysse Zend and then the whole ridge is practically only T5+ somewhere says even T6, I would say T5+ is enough, but still very exposed, countless scrambling,climbing passages.. I don't know how well you're in this difficulties.. rest of the ridge is mostly T4,T3. Or the second option would the hiking the ridge from Drunengalm, which is the first peak after Fromberghorn, but hiking from Diemtigtal to Drunegalm, the hiking path should even be marked.. then hiking th ridge as on the video.. another tips for you: Loucherhorn from Schynigge platte, nuschlete from Stockhorn, or Rothorn-Glogghuis-Hochstollen from Alpen Tower/Hasliberg. The last one named Glogghus is even very well marked, harderst parts secured with ropes, I should go for that one!!

[@patrikfusko]

you find the videos also on this channel :)hope I could help

[@igorelperin8277]

Great job! could you please advise me how did you get to Niesen? Did you hike and if so what the starting point? Thanks!

[@knisterkultur476]

There is a cablecar to the top.

[@knisterkultur476]

Beautiful! I did the ridge once and was surprised about the serious challenge.
You're doing it in trail-running-shoes, am I right?

[@patrikfusko]

hi there!! this ridge sure is a jewel! no, these are now trail running shoes, but hiking shoes Garmont Dragontail MNT GTX, we have both the same on this tour, we are onto Garmont shoes in overall, I got also trail running shoes Salomon Speedcross 4 GTX, but the shoe sole on the garmont is just better for this kind of terrain I think, Garmont are haevier of course, but in those my feet feels more secure.. :)
