"We did the normal route from the Cabane des Audannes via the Col des eaux froid. It took about 4 hours to the summit. The glacier was very dry and we avoided the crevasses by joining the ridge a little earlier than normal. There were a lot of clouds around but we had a fantastic view and were completely alone on the mountain. The 2000m descent all the way down to Anzere was an ordeal though. I think the wildhorn is best done with skis in spring but then of course you will rarely be alone." — chrispatient • Sep 9, 2011
"Beautiful climb up with a great guide. The peak is rated "facile;" for those little or no mountain experience, it's a meaningful effort without being overwhelming or requiring technical skills.
- Day 1: Hike up to cabin from Les Rousses, 2 to 3 hours on, at times, strenuous scree trail
- Day 2: Depart at 8:30, climb up to peak, first on scree rock, then on a large rocks field and finally on an easy glacier. Aprox. 3 to 4 hours total climbing time. 1.5 hours back down to the cabin, then 2 hours back down to Les Rousses." — Andres • Jul 26, 2011
