Dufourspitze from Capanna Margheritta

At 4634m the Dufourspitze is the highest peak in Switzerland and summit of the 2nd highest mountain in Western Europe, after Mont Blanc 4810m. The startlingly airy summit crest of the Dufourspitze is one of the finest places in the Alps to visit and commands quite extraordinary views in all directions. Despite this attraction, it is visited far less frequently than Mont Blanc.
For most the route involves a high altitude traverse from the summit of the Signalkuppe (4554m), over the Zumsteinspitze (4563m) and then down to the Grenzsattel (4453m) before the ridge is reached. It is then climbed to the rocky ‘Italian summit’ of the Grenzgipfel (4618m). The higher ‘Swiss summit’ of the Dufourspitze (4634m) is another 130m away, along a sensationally exposed rocky ridge.

Sind euch die Bandschlingen abhanden gekommen oder sichert ihr immer, indem ihr das Seil um scharfe Felsen wickelt? Wie krass ist das denn!
