Täschhorn 4'491 m. a.s.l.
The Täschhorn belongs to the Mischabel massif and is one of the difficult 4'000m peaks of the Valais.
The first ascent of the Täschhorn was made on 30 July 1862 by Stefan and Johannes Zumtaugwald, J. Llewelyn Davies, J.W. Hayward and Peter-Josef Summermatter via the NW flank (Kin flank) directly from Randa.
We lead the tour in two stages with an extra night in the Mischabeljoch bivouac. On the 1st day we climb the Alphubel from the Täschhütte and then traverse to the Mischabeljoch bivouac. On the 2nd day the Täschhorn is climbed from the Mischabeljoch bivouac.
On request the ascent of the Täschhorn or the crossing of the Dom directly from the Täsch hut is possible.
As 2 days tour through Alphubel, overnight stay at the Mischabeljoch bivouak

The ascent of the Täschhorn is a demanding high altitude climb. Please inform us when you book which other 4’000 meters peaks you have climbed and what other alpine experience you have (Kilimanjaro and Mont Blanc are non comparable, as they are not rock climbs).
We strongly recommend a training climb with a mountain guide. The preparation tours can also be done in a group, if another person has registered for it.
Insurance is the responsibility of the participant (accident and evacuation insurance)
Please contact us 2-3 days in advance by phone or directly in our ZERMATTERS office to ask about the conditions and to discuss the last details.
