Preparations for the climb in Saas Fee

Today was our big preparation day as I had to teach our group how to get to the summit of the Allalinhorn (4058 meter). I will try to go with them as far as possible but it is very unlikely that I will make it all the way up. Anyhow, Saas Fee is a fun place. No cars allowed and it is a bit luxurious but the prices did not go bazooka although I heared that the wintertime is the real posh time here. We checked out the cable car, the weatherforecast, the route and after thee with the famous apfelstrudel we went back to the campsite just 2 kilometer outside the town. Tomorrow morning we have to leave the camoing at 5.45 am to make it to the first cablecar up at 6.30 am. I hope the weather is in our favour. Say prayers and I will keep you update.
