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.

- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦◊

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.

Grosses Grünhorn je jediná 4000vka v oblasti chaty Konkordiahütte. Výstup z chaty Mönchsjochhütte vede z po ledovci Ewigschneefeld a následně po severozápadních svazích na hřeben Grünhornu. Pozor na ledovcové trhliny. Nedaleko od sedla je skidepot od kterého se jde na vrchol v mačkách. Sjezd pokračuje logicky na Konkordiaplatz a túra končí na chatě Konkordia. Tak je to ideální. Alternativou je výstup sjezd přes vrchol Grünegghorn, na který se musí vylézt s lyžemi na batohu.

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).

Piz d´Err is a popular ski tour to the panoramic summit. The technically undemanding ski tour begins in Chamanna Jenatsch. The only steep section is climbing on the summit. A first class experience is under stable conditions the descent to the opposite side, western slopes to Surselva, more precisely to the village Sur, a total of 1,800 m.

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.
