It is operated in a similar way to other alpine huts. This hospice offers refuge to ski mountaineers following the Grand Lui variant of the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt.

Pigne d´Arolla is a very popular and easily accessible viewpoint. The ski tour to the summit leads from the three mountain huts - Cabane Dix, Cabane Vignettes and Cabane Chanrion. The route from Dix goes around the glacial seracs to the saddle Col de la Serpentine and the summit can be reached on skis. A worthwhile summit on the Haute Routes to Zermatt.

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.

Strahlhorn (Britannia Hütte, Walliser Alpen) is a classic glacier ski tour from Britannia Hütte. From the Adlerpass saddle, you usually go skiing to the top. To get off Saas Fee, take the Metro to the "window" at 3460 m to the Hohlaub Gletscher and start the ascent after a short ride.

St. Moritz Bernina Alps Switzerland
- Length of ascent4 km
- ascent990 m
- duration4-6 h
- Fitness 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.

Impressive very long ski tour on the more pronounced Piz Platta summit in the Plattagruppe-Oberhalbstein mountain group. Aproach from the village of Mulengs - road from Tiefencastel to Julierpass. First a few kilometers through the forest, then left at the foot of the mountain and then constantly up the northeast slope to the plateau (ski depot). Next you have to climb the southern slope to the top plateau with crampons and ice axe.
