This tour was done on the 18. May 2015.
After a long day at the 17.5. (see previous post), I took my skis again today and used the good weather for some more skitouring. This time, just in the region. After yesterday, where I started at three in the morning with the car, today, waking up at 6.15 felt like sleeping out. Still, I was not late. The climb was well frozen. Also the last hike to the summit of Flüela Wisshorn was still well frozen, such that I was not sinking in the steps.

The first downhill was just in time. Maybe 15 minutes to early. Some parts were just becoming soft. The rest was already perfect corn. The second climb was then already in the sun for a while, still it was good to hike.

Just the last downhill, which was west exposed was still a bit hard. But waiting for that to unfreeze would have taken too long. All in all, it was a good tour. Soon, it will be hard to find the way back to the Flüelapass road, since the snow is melting quiet fast.

This tour I did today, is called the "Wäschcuchi-Rundtour" and is very popular, particularly in high winter. Even though I have been on the Flüela Wisshorn before, it was the first time that I did the tour this way. Interestingly, in spring, this tour has not that many visitors anymore. Maybe just because most people are not very much motivated for skiing anymore.
