With its brightly white summit cap, the Galenstock is the eye-catcher in Goms. 

If the practiced gaze of a ski tourer wanders around the Urserntal, it will not be able to avoid the Galenstock area. Too striking and impressive are the closely clustered peaks around the Albert Heim Hut. Once at the summit cross, you enjoy a great view over the Uri, Valais and Bernese Alps.
