Hiking on top of fantastic lookout tower. Glacier skitour. At the end, you will reach the summit from the north, to the top of the climbing terrain. Next continue to the Diechterlimi saddle and from there a fantastic downhill run to Gelmerhütte and then to the Gelmersee dam. If the lake is not frozen, the route along the northern bank can be very challenging, depending on the snow conditions. After crossing the dam, is coming downhill, often very complicated, traversing western slope to the Grimselpass road. After that, a bit on the parking lot under the Räterichsboden dam and at first a steep traverse to Bächlihütte - a hut on the top.

Chli Bielenhorn 2940 m

- Length of ascent8,5 km

- duration5-6,5 h

Chli Bielenhorn je skalnatá špička v říši monumentálních žulových stěn divokých hor. Začátek kolem silnice na Furkapass pokračuje po pláni pod chatou Albert-Heim-Hütte. Pak přichází v sousedství pohled na ledovce monumentálního Dammastocku. V kulisách skal vede logická linie ke skidepu kousek pod vrcholem. V případě stabilního sněhu je fajn alternativou sjezdová linie jižně od výstupové stopy a dále členitým terénem k hotelu Tiefenbach a v okolí silnice nebo po ní zpět do Realpu.

Vyhlídková, poměrně jednoduchá túra po hřebeni na Piz Badus přes Pazolastock. Na start túry je snadná cesta vlakem z Andermattu. Pozor na laviny při traverzu Pazolastocku. První sjezd je lehký a bezpečný. Logická výstupová linie přes hřeben pod Piz Badus. Na vrchol v mačkách nebo na lyžích, podle podmínek. Letecký pohled na Andermatt. Při sjezdu z Piz Badus pozor na strmý úsek za jezerem. Po nalepení pásů závěrečných 100 výškových metrů do sedla Oberalppass k vlaku (jezdí každou hodinu).

A very popular tour of glacial terrain. Start at Hotel Steingletscher (Sustenpass road, parking) or Tierbergli hütte. From the parking a large elevation of 1700 m. Technically not very demanding tour, but conditionally yes. Route parameters are listed at the start of the Hotel Steingletscher and from the peak of Sustenhorn leads downhill to Tierbergli.

Grosses Grünhorn 4044 m
Konkordiahütte Berner Alpen / Alpes bernoises Switzerland
- Length of ascent7 km

- duration6,5-8,5 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦◊

Gross Grünhorn is the only 4000 meter in the Konkordiahütte area. The ascent leads from Konkordiaplatz along the edge of the Ewigschneefeld glacier and then along the northwestern slopes of the Grünhorn ridge. Beware of glacier cracks around the saddle between Grünegghorn and Gross Grünhorn. Not far from the saddle is a ski depot, from which you can go up with crampons and ice ax. The descent along the ascent route is safer than the descent variant through Grüneggfirn (glacier cracks).

Tödi 3614 m

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.

A very long and demanding, royal stage of this Haute Route. In my opinion, the most impressive stage of all multi-day Alpine crossings. Due to the elevation gain and time required, it’s worth considering splitting the stage into two days with an overnight stay in Zinal. The long, exposed ridge to the summit requires rope protection depending on conditions. The descent is fantastically long, but caution is needed – there are large crevasses. This ski tour is only recommended in stable weather; in poor conditions, it’s advisable to bypass the Blanc de Moming via the Glacier de Zinal and ascend directly to the Cabane de Tracuit.
