Weissmies
The Weissmies 4,013 m (13,166 ft) is a mountain in the Pennine Alps in the canton of Valais in Switzerland near the village of Saas-Fee.The massif consists of two other main summits lying to the north at almost the same altitude, the Lagginhorn and Fletschhorn.The Weissmies is one of the 10 four-thousanders surrounding the Saastal, facing the Dom on the west, the third highest summit of the Alps.[3] The approach to the Trift Glacier/south-west ridge (Triftgrat) route can now be made via lift to Hohsaas (3,100 m), which is located virtually at the edge of the glacier.Another route starts from the Zwischbergen Pass (above Almageller Hut) at the foot of the southern ridge.
