Route: Route: Belalp – Hotel Belalp – Tyndalldenkmall – Sparrhorn – Belalp

Organized by: Katerina (speaks ENG, DE)
About the hike
We start in the beautiful mountain village of Belalp and follow the trail toward Hotel
Belalp, where our main ascent begins. From there, we climb steadily and steeply
toward the summit of Sparrhorn, gaining elevation through alpine terrain. After
approximately three hours of hiking, we reach the summit, where spectacular views
of Beichgletscher and Oberaletschglatscher await us.
Depending on the available
space at the summit, we will either enjoy our lunch break at the top or descend a
short distance to a more comfortable spot nearby. After taking in the scenery, we
begin our return journey, descending via the picturesque Lüsgersee before making
our way back to Belalp.
Please note
This hike is definitely NOT suitable for beginners. You must be sure-footed and have a
head for heights. We will be hiking to 3000m so you should be used to this height.
You should be able to cover 300 meters of elevation in an hour. The hiking scale for
this hike is T3. Walking poles strongly recommended. Please only sign up after you
review your traveling time and are in a good physical shape.
In case of bad weather the organizer we plan a hike to another peak.

How to register
To register, please fill out the form below. Please note that your registration is binding. Places are limited to a maximum of 10 – “first come, first served” 😉 After registering, you will receive confirmation and a message from the organizer shortly.
IMPORTANT: If you are unexpectedly unable to attend, please let us know by July 5th at latest so that we can give others on the waiting list the opportunity to join. Furthermore we need to reserve the cable car. Participants who cancel at short notice will be excluded from future events. We strive to offer our events free of charge and invest a lot of our free time in these events (we all work on a voluntary basis), but unfortunately we have experienced many no-shows/no-replies or last-minute cancellations in recent years, which is demotivating for the organizers. Therefore, we had to establish this rule.
Disclaimer / Please note
The hike is free of charge, but our organizers always appreciate a small tip via TWINT for their volunteer work (organizing and conducting a hike takes about three days of effort). The number will be announced after registration, and you will be invited to join a WhatsApp group. Food and drinks are not included in our hikes and must be brought along by participants. Participation is at your own risk and responsibility, as we are only a volunteer community of friends and not an official tour operator. You will therefore be asked to confirm a disclaimer below. You can find more information in our FAQ.
