Jungfrau is a very popular 4000 in the Bernese Alps. From the highest train station in Europe - the Jungfraujoch - you can easily board. But be careful, don't climb to the top without acclimatizing! Not far from the Jungfraujoch station is the Mönchsjochhütte or above the confluence of the Aletschgletscher Konkordia Hut. The only complication of the ascent is glacier cracks. Overcoming the crevasse under the Rottasattel can be complicated. The last climb up to the summit is climbed without skis. The descent line follows the ascent track. You have to reckon with a 450 hm ascent return to the hut.

Túra na impozantní Mnich (Mönch) je v podstatě dlouhou hřebenovkou v mačkách a s cepínem. S rostoucí výškou roste obtížnost. S úbytkem ledovcového příkrovu roste expozice. Pokud nejste horský vůdce, nepoužívejte techniku krátkého lana. V závěrečném úseku je každá chyba nevratná. Výstup přináší fantastický zážitek se spoustou výhledů na nádherný svět ledovců.

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).

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.

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.

The ascent to the Isenfürggli saddle is a worthwhile addition after successful descents from Pischahorn or Isentällispitz. Especially in firn conditions or fresh powder, it is a rewarding destination. From the saddle, there is a beautiful view of the Silvretta range, with the striking Piz Linard as its centerpiece.

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.
