Cabane Chanrion , 2462 m

Bishorn seems to be a relatively light 4000, but looks are deceptive. If you include the approach to Cabane Tracuit from Zinal in the ascent, it is quite a long ski tour. From the hut the ascent line leads slightly up the glacier Turtmanngletscher. Directly below the peak on the plateau you have to swap skis for crampons and comfortably climb to the panoramic summit - one of the best in all of Valais. Driving down the northern slope is usually a fantastic enjoyment, the risk of glacier cracks is minimal.

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.

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.

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.
