Route: Weissmies

Weissmies via the South Ridge is one of the few 4000m peaks of Switzerland that can be run without any gear if the conditions allow for it, which makes for an incredibly worthwile mountain run.

Starting from the town square of Saas Almagell at about 1670m, the uphill starts right behind the houses. The trail is very runnable up to after the Almageller Hut (SAC) where it gets a bit steeper. The last part is a really good climb leading to the final snowy summit ridge.
