Description
Ascent

Gabi - From the parking lot, go up the left bank of the Laggina to the second bridge, which we cross to the Gsteihuis. To the left of the building, climb the steep mule track to the Feerberg forest clearing. The first ascent via Schilt starts further up between the gallery and the bridge at around 1260 m, and you reach the mule track at around 1'340 m. You climb up the wide ridge through the forest clearing, past a small chapel at 1,560 m. You can also climb the open terrain via Mittluhuis to Alphittä or follow the old mule track. The open forest leads from Alphittä to the east and from Furggu to the northeast to the Seetole. Climb the south-west summit flank on the right. There is a converter antenna on the summit.

Descent

Gabi - The descent is via the ascent lane. After assessing the dangers, this can also vary. On the descent, you can drive along the west ridge over the summit triangle directly to Alphitte and Feerberg.

Directions
This ski tour high above the Gondo Gorge is highly recommended. Feasible winter like the beginning of spring. The slopes from Furgelti over Feerberg through the open larch forests usually offer good snow conditions. On the descent you can also drive along the W-Grant over the summit triangle and then more directly to Alphitte and Feerberg.

Snowshoe and ski tour map 1: 50000 is available from the Brig and Simplon tourist office.
