Ränfenhorn 3255 m Ski tour

A modest snow capped peak, mostly covered in the ice of the Gauli and Rosenlaui Glaciers. Nevertheless, a popular, easy to reach and not-too-difficult tour destination. Is often climbed when leaving the Gauli area (direction Rosenlaui or Urbachtal) or traversed on route to the Wetterhorn from the Gaulihütte.
