Lagginhorn 4,010m - Best 4000m mountain to solo in the Alps?

Is it possible to climb a 4000-meter mountain in the Alps by yourself?
That was the question I ended up asking myself when a friend of mine cancelled our climbing trip last minute...

Soloing a mountain in the Swiss Alps was honestly the last thing I wanted to do, but with my flight ticket paid and holiday already booked, I wasn't going to jump ship so easily.

After doing some research I realised that there are routes you can solo and also minimise your risk while doing so, and that's how the Lagginhorn mission came to be.

I had a lot of fun climbing the Lagginhorn.
The trip has you leave from Saas-Grund, stay the night in the Weissmies hut and as you're ascending the mountain you have views of the Mischabel group (including Dom) and the Weissmies mountain.

The Lagginhorn is a great four thousander for beginning mountaineers.

Regardless of my solo approach of this mountain, I HIGHLY recommend that anyone going should do so with a climbing partner.

I also want to inform anyone that’s planning to do this mountain that in icy conditions it’s very easy to slip and fall from some of the more exposed sections.

If you’re gonna do it, train hard, take care, and have fun!
