Patrouille des Glaciers Light 2-day ski tour group from Zermatt

The Patrouille des Glaciers is one of the world’s toughest team races. It passes several glaciers on its way to Arolla. Follow the race route on this ski tour and tackle its many exciting challenges.

Your first meeting point is ZERMATTERS at 17:00 the day before, for a briefing with your mountain guide. The tour gets properly underway at 09:00 the next morning. Together, you’ll take the train and gondola lift to sparkling Schwarzsee. The descent towards Stafelalp starts there. After the descent, climb up to the cosy Schönbielhütte, where you’ll spend the night.

On the morning of day two, a steep descent to the Zmutt Glacier awaits. The fantastic ascent towards Tête Blanche starts on the glacier plateau at Tiefmatten. On the way up, you’ll pass the glacier plateau at Col de la Tête Blanche. After a short descent across the Glacier du Mont Miné, the final long descent to Arolla lies ahead. After a short break there, you’ll make your way back to Zermatt.
