TOUR 1
NADELHORN 4327M
The Nadelhorn offers a beautiful and varied high tour. It is the highest peak of the Nadelgrat. It probably got its name from an oval hole, the so-called "needle hole", which is located about 10 meters northwest of the highest point. The ascent over the normal route belongs to the easier peaks of the Mischabel group if the conditions are good.

FACTS
In the midst of a high alpine mountain scenery, at the foot of the northeast ridge of the Lenzspitze, surrounded by 4000m peaks, it lies, like an eagle's nest, the Mischabelhütte at 3340m above sea level. It is a worthwhile excursion destination and starting point for some 4000m peaks.
Today the hut visitor has two huts at his disposal, which are about 10 meters away from each other. The upper hut (new hut) with kitchen, sleeping places, dining room and sanitary facilities can be called the main house. The lower hut serves as an additional sleeping camp and in times of non-maintenance as a winter room. The owner and builder of the Mischabelhütte is the Akademische Alpenclub Zürich (AACZ), which offers 130 beds, dinner, breakfast, drinks, marching tea and a small daily menu with mainly regional specialities.
