Gaulihütte is a relatively "young" mountain hut, built in 1978 in the east of the Bernese Alps an excellent location for skiing tours. Less ideal with access to the hut. The bases of skittles on Hubelhorn, Ankenbäli, Wetterhorn, Rosenhorn, Ewigschneehorn, Ränfenhorn, Hangendgletscherhorn. The last chalet on the Swiss Glacier Haute Route - an impressive crossing over the summit of Rosenhorn or Wetterhorn, with an elevation of nearly 2500 m to the Rosenlau Gorge, where writer Sir Doyle ended Sherlock Holmes life. The entrance to the hut from Innertkirchen via Urbachtal is not recommended, a safer option is from the Räterichsboden dam. An interesting fact is the fall of the American aircraft in 1947 just a few kilometers from the hut.

At first, an inconspicuous brick, from which a distinctive ridge and a perfect viewing tower of the Bernese Alps 4000, dominated by the Finsteraarhorn. From Gaulihütte, at first, a sharp, rugged hillside to the american Dakota air accident memorial. Then down the glacier and the lengthy ascent below the Rosenhorn Ridge. The difficulty of the ridge depends on the snow conditions. The Rosenlaui Valley is one of the longest in the Alps. Initially, following a mild glacier, from a 3000 m high, there is a steep slope, later very ragged. Beware of orientation and avalanche danger. Around the Rosenlaui Gorge at the parking lot and the bus stop.

Grosser Aletschhorn is lonely 4000 in the middle of the Berner Alps in Switzerland over the Oberaletschgletscher and the hut of the same name. From the top views of the Wallis Alps, including the Matterhorn.

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).

Na vrchol Finsteraarhorn míří náročná ledovcová túra z chaty Finsteraarhornhütte. Hned od začátku túry jsou cestou velkolepé výhledy. Náročnější je překonání skalního žebra. Po ledovci do sedla Hugisattel s leteckým pohledem na východní stěnu. Zde je skidepot a dál v mačkách a s cepínem na skialpové poměry náročným terénem. Obtížnost lezení zásadně ovlivňuje množství a konzistence sněhu na skále. Náročný sjezd prudkými svahy kopíruje linii výstupu.

After Tödi, Clariden is the second most popular ski tour in the Glarus Alps. The ascent leads along the gentle Claridenfirn glacier from Claridenhütte to the foot of Clariden and then through a wide northeast slope to the top pyramid. Beautiful views of the entire Glarus Alps and the neighboring Uri Alps. Descent copies the ascent track. A popular alternative is to continue crossing the Planura hut after descending the steep slope turn right to Claridenpass.

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.
