Moiry – Pointes du Mourti
Day1: Pigne de la Lé 3’396m & some repetition
After a long drive into the beautiful valley of Moiry with its emerald blue lake, we started with a steep uphill to the hut. The Moiry hut is located at a stunning place right in front of the massive glacier…very impressive. We left the stuff in the hut, which we didn’t need for the tour. We head out toward Col du Pigne. From there it’s an easy climb with some scrambling up to the summit. After a lunch break, we crossed over to the glacier where we walk down. Short before we left the glacier we stopped for some technical repetition.
Day 2: Pointes du Mourti 3563m
On the second day, we left the hut at 05:30 towards glacier de Moiry. There we got ready for the glacier crossing with crampons and rope. It was a zic-zac walking to find a suitable way through the crevasses. The climb up to the ridge was fairly easy. There we packed the crampons away and started climbing. It was an easy ridge climb with a beautiful panoramic view. After reaching the summit of Pointes du Mourti (3563m) we had to abseil for about 20m before we could continue our climb on the ridge to the marked abseiling. From there in two parts, we reached the glacier again where we could hike back to the hut. Just right before the kitchen of the hut temporarily closed, we could order our plate with local meat and cheese (Walliser Plättli) followed by a piece of amazing cake.
