Weissmies glacier tour 4017 m | Preparation for Mont Blanc and Dufourpeak

Weissmies is a four-thousand-meter peak in the gorgeous Pennine Alps in Swiss canton of Valais. Translated from the local dialect Weissmies means White Moss. We had chosen to climb it as a preparation for our following tours to Monte Blanc and Dufour - the highest Swiss peak (watch my video to see how we managed it :) We departed from Zürich the night before and slept in the village of Saas Grund to start our tour early next morning. Weissmies was a perfect mountain to choose for the acclimatisation because of its good accessibility so we could make a relatively easy and short one day tour.
