Coronets

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.
