The Eiger is one of the most sought after summits in the Alps and a formidable challenge. If you have previous alpine experience and good physical fitness, it is within your grasp. We aim to climb this famous peak towards the end of the week, after a suitable preparation in and around the Chamonix valley.

Normally climbed via the Mittellegi Ridge with a descent via the South Ridge, this is a long and technical climb – for fit climbers only – but worth it to get to the top of this world famous peak.

We stay in the famous Mittellegi Hut followed by the Mönchsjoch Hut on the way down.
