Alpen Mountain British Columbia .
Height: 1709 m (5607 ft)above Chief George-Mamquam Pass
Located just 3 km SE of the junction of Skookum and Mamquam rivers, beween Raffuse Creek and Mamquam R. (11 km NE of Mountain Lake). (12 km E of Squamish). (14 km SW of Mamquam Mountain).
This is an ideal ski ascent peak. In addition to the peak are a series of other peaks all above treeline. There are four peaks on the ridge, from north to south 1709m,1654m,1706m, and 1702m. They stretch out over 4 km. All are just barely above treeline. The second peak from the north has been referred to as "Split Peak" because of a notch right at the summit. It could be reached via the ridge from the main peak, but most parties are out of steam upon reaching the main summit.
Alpen is the German name for the Alps. It is also a village in the district of Wesel, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is situated between the Ruhr area and the border with the Netherlands.

Access / Route
1. From Alpen Spur Road Ski to summit. Skis. Typically done as a ski route. Drive as far up the Alpen spur till stopped by snow. Drive as far as you can, and then ski up the road and into the subalpine. To avoid snowmobiles, you can turn left onto spur road at 3600'. This takes you up an old road, then up into the subalpine. The final peak is best climbed by bypassing it with a high traverse, then getting onto the south ridge. The south ridge is tricky because there are numerous little ledges and snowdrifts. (3000' elevation gain) (4 hours) |
