Nordend is a very challenging glacier ski tour to an important summit in the Monte Rosa massif. The biggest problem is the huge crevasses, due to which the ascent and descent route has to be adjusted. Relevant information about this is available in the Monte Rosa Hut. Only creviasses make difficult the ascent to the saddle Silbersattel, further up the ascent without skis (crampons + ice axe) bends along a relatively exposed slope to the summit. The descent is fantastic, but watch out for cracks again. Simply put, challenging ski tour!

In the first half of this long ski tour, watch out for numerous crevasses. The rest of the ski tour over the glacier Grenzgletscher is technically easy and there is no steep passage along the entire route. This ski mountain tour is practically impossible during low-snow winters - inquire at the Monte Rosa Hut.
