| the higher the better for me, I am looking for easy acclimatisation for trek to kilimanjaro (5900m, not ideal I know, but too late for any bigger plans). I heard there is also one easy above-4000m peak doable from Saas Fee, with possibility to hire a guide (for 250 CHF?) thats doable in 1 day... any info on that? | |

I think it is a perfect one for acclimitization; you can also solo the Breithorn normal route as well (just talk to the local guides before you do) or you can rope up with any willing team, there will be well-trodden path and is as safe as alpine tours can be. You can consider hiking up part or all the way up to Klien Matterhorn from Zermatt (again, consult the Gandegg hut warden before crossing theodulpass alone), because not just sleeping at altitude but gradual progression and exerting at altitude are also important.
For a more interesting (but still solo-able scramble), I think you mean Lagginhorn in Saas Fee.
When are your timelines? I am in fact planning to visit the Alps 14-18 July...and might post an ad if my regular partners can't fill in the dates.
