The mountain hut Fornohütte, Italian Capanna del Forno, is located in the rocky part of the Bernina mountain group, in the Bregaglia region. From the hut, you start from the Maloja Pass at the namesake village in the canton of Graubünden. The modernized hut sits on a sunny terrace above the Forno glacier. Longer hikes into the back of the valley lead to Cima Cantun, Monte Sissoni, and Cima Rosso. A beautiful circular hike culminates at Monte Rosso, and above the hut rises Monte del Forno. A great option for the last day is the tour from Fornohütte to the summit of Pizzi dei Rossi, featuring a long descent down to Maloja Pass

Túra na Monte Sissone je velkolepým krajinářským zážitkem. Nad ledovci zdobí krajinu granitové skály Bergellu. Od chaty se sjede na ledovec Forno a v závěru údolí se stoupá pohodlně do sedla Passo Sissone. Odtud už to není daleko na samotný špičatý vrchol. Krásný výhled na protější Cima Rosso a hlavně nejvyšší Piz Bernina i impozantní Monte Disgrazia.

Skvělým skialpovým vrcholem uprostřed oblasti je Monte Rosso. Výhodou okruhu je maximalistický krajinářský zážitek. Po výstupu do dvou sedel se otevřou vždy nové výhledy. Od chaty míříme nejprve do sedla Sella del Forno. Koukáme na Berninu a dolů na skiresort Valmalenco. Krásným kotlem po krátkém sjezdu traverujeme a míříme nahoru do druhého sedla – Passo di Val Bona. Po strmějším svahu do místa na skalním hřebenu, kde je skidepot. Odtud v mačkách na vrchol. Na lyžích parádní sjezd jihozápadním svahem na ledovec Forno a zpět nahoru k chatě.

Poměrně náročná túra na vrchol se stejným jménem jako chata. Nejprve snadný výstup do sedla Sella di Forno. Odtud doleva prudkými svahy až ke skalám, kde je skidepot. Po skalách s pomocí řetězů opět na zasněžený svah a po něm na vrchol.

Skialpová Pizzi dei Rossi je ideální volbou pro poslední den na chatě. Návrat na parkoviště pod Malojapassem má úplně jinou úroveň, než přesun údolím. Výstup z chaty vede často traverzy zápaního svahu, na jaře jsou haršajsny nutností. Náročný je až výstup prudkým svahem do sedla, většinou bude nutné nasadit mačky a lyže dát batoh. Ze sedla nalehko a bez lyží na vrchol. Sjezd severním kuloárem je zprvu velmi prudký a bmusí se projet zúžením mezi skalami. Dál po pláních je už luxusní svah a když je dobrý sníh, je to fantastický sjezd. Ten pokračuje i údolím Val Muretto až na planinu Canis. Pár krátkých protisvahů na kraj soutěsky a pak už zase jen dolů k mostu přes horskou bystřinu a po rovině na parkoviště.

St. Moritz Bernina Alps Switzerland
- Length of ascent4 km
- ascent990 m
- duration4-6 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦◊◊
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦◊
Piz Surlej and Piz San Gian is an interesting ski tour over two neighboring peaks. In the morning you take the cable car to Piz Corvatsch and enjoy the wonderful view of the Albula Alps as well as the lakes Sils and Silvaplana. Follow the ski slope to the Margun Vegl cable car station or to the upper station (2643 m). A logical line to Piz Surlej and further along the ridge to Piz San Gian. And then a spectacular descent to St. Moritz. Warning, some slopes of this ski tour have avalanche potential, especially the descent from the San Gian summit to St. Moritz. This tour is for skiers with good riding technique.

The Piz Palü with its characteristic three pillars is probably the most popular "not 4000" in the Alps. The exit from the Berghaus Diavolezza is ideal, it is also possible from the Bovalhütte. The key point for the ascent and descent is the passage of the Labyrinth between the Seraks. Continue over a relatively steep glacier to the ski depot. Then ascent with ice axe and crampons along the exposed summit ridge. The usual goal of ski mountaineers is the eastern summit - 3882 m.

- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦♦
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦♦
Piz Bernina is the only 4000m peak in the Eastern Alps. The greatest danger are the huge and numerous crevasses on the Morteratsch Glacier and the ridge to the summit. Piz Bernina sets off from Chamanna Boval or Rifugio Marco e Rosa on the plateau below the summit. Bernina is a demanding alpine challenge.

Tödi 3614 m
Fridolinshütte Glarus Alps Switzerland
- Length of ascent6 km
- ascent1495 m
- duration7-10 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦◊
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦♦
In the Middle Ages, Tödi was considered the highest mountain in the world. Today it is an attractive destination for ski mountaineers, but it is not easy to hit good weather. The ascent is made difficult by a glacier littered with fractures and cracks. Starts from the Fridolins hut over the moraine and descends briefly to the Bifertenfirn glacier. The hardest part is to overcome the first two drops, then the climb up is relatively easy. Depending on the conditions on skis or with crampons to the summit. Provides information about the current conditions on the glacier in the Fridolinshütte.

Piz Buin ze švýcarské strany je zajímavější túra než ze strany rakouské. výstup v závěrečné části je stejný. Pod stěnu vede trasa přes sedla Plan Mezdi a Fuorcla dal Cunfin. Za stabilní sněhové pokrývky je alternativou sjezd žlabem Buinlücke.

Relatively easy glacier ski tour to the most popular summit of the Hollandia hut. The glacier is not too cracked and the ascent path is gradually gaining altitude. At the end, ridge is waiting between the secondary and main summits. With good visibility it is a ski tour without complications.
