Grosses Grünhorn 4044 m

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.

Skialpová túra na Jungfrau z chaty Konkordia začíná velmi dlouhým nástupem po ledovci Jungfraufirn. Následuje prudký výstup na hřeben a dále do sedla Rottalsattel přes nepříjemnou thlinu. Skidepot a na mčkách a s cepínem po plochém hřebenu na vrchol. Alternativní sjezd přes sedlo Louwitor na ledovec Aletschfirn a po něm na chatu Konkordia. Možné je po dosažení vrcholu pokračovat na nádraží Jungfraujoch nebo nocovat na Mönchsjochhütte.

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.

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.

The stage begins at the Cabane Tracuit with an ascent of the 4,000-meter peak Bishorn, which is considered relatively easy. After skiing back down to the Tracuit hut, the route continues with a descent over the Turtmanngletscher glacier. A subsequent climb over the Brunegggletscher glacier leads into a rocky corridor, which marks the beginning of the descent to the Turtmannhütte.
