Access
Two unsecured and (essentially) unmarked mountain trails lead to the Albristhorn: from the Hahnenmoospass , which can be reached from Adelboden or from Lenk , a marginally marked path leads over Tierberg and Seewlehorn and the south ridge to the summit. From the saddle between Gsür and Albristhorn (Alemannic Furggeli, Adelboden – Färmeltal hiking trail ) an unmarked nature trail leads up the east ridge. Both are to be rated at about T4 , with the east ridge only having a short, demanding passage with no real risk of falling and the south ridge having several rather easy but dangerous passages. In winter, if the conditions are safe, the Albristhorn is an extremely popular ski tour from the Färmeltal over the north flank and the upper east ridge. In the meantime, even in winter, people occasionally climb or descend from Hornbrügg / Adelboden, from Hahnenmoos over the south ridge or from Matten over the west flank.
