Krönten crossing with mountain guide
An alpine adventure over a striking peak in the heart of the Uri Alps.
The Krönten towers as a striking rock and firn summit high above the wildly romantic Maderanertal valley. The crossing is an impressive alpine tour with everything that makes a mountaineer's heart beat faster: a varied ascent over boulder terrain, firn and easy climbing passages, an airy summit ridge and a varied descent. Together with our mountain guide, you will master this exciting route and be rewarded with magnificent views deep into Central Switzerland.
Procedure and meeting place
Individual journey. We meet in Amsteg in the morning.
Ascent together to the Leutschachhütte. Here we enjoy the view and get in the mood for the upcoming crossing. Overnight stay at the hut.
Early start. From the hut we climb higher over boulder terrain and firn fields until we reach the ridge. Over easy, well-secured climbing sections (II.-III. degree) we reach the summit of the Krönten. After a break with a magnificent panorama, we cross the summit and descend via the Kröntenhütte back to the Maderanertal.
