Description
The immense massif of the snowcovered Dom (4545 m, 14911 ft) is even from this height, standing on the Augstbordhorn (2973 m, 9754 ft) on a distance of about 16 km (10 miles), still a giant mountain. Artic weather-conditions on these altitudes, where temperatures rarely pass the freezing-point, are the cause of the white world up here. The Riedgletscher is one of the glaciers that slowly transport the ice down into the valley.

When one sees it one sees it with the first viewers eyes and wonders what Helvetian chief or warrior he was and why he was up there? Certainly it did not have to wait for Roman legionaires on their way North seeking passage.

Very impressive view. I can only imagine how it feels to be at that height of 14911 ft. The terrain to climb looks difficult but yet the beauty is there. A dangerous hike. Stay safe. Excellent. Aloha
