Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

@Mike Pow, thanks for the archive link. I thought I'd posted an archive link too but it seems I inadvertently posted the original (paywalled) link. Embarassed

It's also a very special ski tour during the spring. From Jungfraujoch ski to Koncordia, skins on and up to Hollandia (Lötschenlucke)
Then the very long ski down Langletscher.
Train from Goppenstein back to Interlaken.
The ski down is through BLATTEN, the landslide/Glacier collapse may well alter this run significantly.

I visited in the mid 1990's, stayed at the Mönchsjoch hut (lots of Japanese suffering from altitude sickness), then a traverse of the Mönch from the Jungfraujoch (seem to remember there was a big bergschrund), made it back to the hut just in time for dinner. Next day we aimed for the Fiescherhorn, I was knackered from the day before so stopped for a kip on some rocks while the rest of the party did the peak. The trip down the end of the Ewigschneefeld to Konkordia was fairly adventurous, leaping across some rather wide crevasses with some very large seracs above, it felt very "Himalayan", not sure it would be feasible now perhaps just an unpleasant boulder field. The glacier was about halfway up the cliff shown in the image in the linked article so a lot fewer steps. The hut felt a bit too luxurious for its remote location, it was busy with a trekking trip for the staff of Swiss railways. Next day we plodded up the Jungfraufirn back to the railway (expensive even then).

Also stayed in the Lötschental, which is very beautiful and hardly impacted by tourism, think we stayed in Wiler which is the next village to Blatten.
