Today there was still a lot of snow outside! Nevertheless we started to a summit that is not so far away from the Freiburger Hütte. The Formaletsch is a summit without a marked path, so you have to find your own way up. Because of the snow and the wet conditions it was not so easy. It is recommended to only go up there when it is dry. Unfortunately when we reached the top everything around us was covered by clouds and we could not see anything. But I guess with blue sky the view from the summit will be great. 😉

Today the weather was not looking so good - many clouds and the forecast said rain in the afternoon. So we decided to go only on a short hike to the Roggelkopf. The Roggelskopf is a very prominent summit, you can see it very clearly from the hut and it looks very impressive. But I really enjoyed this hike! In the beginning the path is easy, later you have to cross an area of many broken rocks and at the end some climbing is required. The part before the summit is quite exposed, but there are some steel cables and going up there reminded me of doing a via ferrata which I quite like 🙂

After the Saladinaspitze we walked back for about one hour until we reach the path that leads up to the Fensterlewand. We had to climb up a gully to reach the summit. The gully was filled with soil and stones. Fortunately we were the only people going up there, otherwise falling stones might be a problem. It also requires some climbing to reach the summit (I-II). From the summit we had a good view to the Saladinaspitze 🙂

Last year we decided to become hiking guides for the german alping club (DAV). We enjoy being in the mountains so much that we would also like to show others some hiking trails. So we applied for a course to become a hiking guide. This course takes place at the Freiburger Hütte in the beautiful Lechquellengebirge.

On the first day of the course we did a hike to the Saladinaspitze. It is only about 2 hours away from the Freiburger Hütte. Most of the time the path is easy but before reaching the summit it is partly quite exposed. From the summit we had a great view to the surrounding mountains!

This tour can be combined with a hike to the Fensterlewand (2329m).
