Cabane Chanrion offers a variety of ski tours and is also an important stop on the famous Haute Route Chamonix - Zermatt. You can reach it from Valsorey via the Plateau Couloir. The continuation to the Cabane Vignettes either leads over the Otemna glacier or over a more interesting route through the Les Portons. The most difficult peak in the region is La Ruinette. The FXB Panossiere can be reached via Tournelon Blanc. The Chalet Dix and the Arolla Valley can be reached via Cabane Dix with a fork to Mont Blanc Cheilon. The access from the Mauvoisin Dam is at risk from avalanches and is not recommended. Contact the hut for detailed information.

Pigne Arolla, Day 5 H.R. Chamonix-Zermatt 3790 m

The Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt between the Chanrion and Vignetts huts offers two options. The clear number one is the line between the ridges above the Col Portons saddle. The only complication may be a few climb steps in the saddle, but it's all about a fantastic ski tour. A great highlight of this skitour is a bonus in the form of the Pigne Arolla summit. Then only the descent to Cabane Vignettes remains.

Velkolepá a náročná túra na vrchol v monumentální horské krajině mezi ledovci. Z chaty Chanrion po trase do sedla Portons. Včas odboč doleva na ledovec Brenay. Klíčem k úspěchu je trefit kanál, kterým se vystoupá na svah Ruinette a poměrně snadno se pokračuje do sedla pod vrcholovou pyramidu. Tady je skidepot a dále v mačkách a s cepínem. Sjezd po trase výstupu.

Breithorn - Zermatt 4164 m
Monte Rosa Hütte Walliser Alpen / Alpes valaisannes Switzerland
- Length of ascent3 km
- ascent440 m
- duration3-4 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦◊
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦◊
Breithorn can be rated as the lightest 4000 in the Alps. In any case, thanks to the support of the Klein Matterhorn cable car, which transports ski mountaineers up to 3880 m. From the cable car station (beautiful viewpoint) to the glacier plain below the summit, which can be often reached on skis. In good conditions, it is worthwhile to continue to the Schwarztor saddle and drive descent back to Zermatt. The second variant of the freeride is the descent from the Unterer Theodulgletscher. This descent is simply great up to Seehöre 2400.

La Luette je vděčná túra z chaty Cabane Dix. Po mírném svahu na ledovec Glacier de la Luette a v závěru po hřebenu na vrchol. Pouhých 500 výškových metrů od chaty může být lákadlem pro odpolední túru poté, když dorazíte brzo na chatu Dix.

Blanc de Moming - Dôme Circuit 3649 m
Cabane du Mountet Walliser Alpen / Alpes valaisannes Switzerland
- Length of ascent10 km
- ascent2035 m
- duration9-11 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦♦
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦♦
Blanc de Moming - Dôme is a beautiful but also very demanding complex ski tour. First ascent from Cabane Mountet to La Forcle saddle and then not very easy descent and then ascent along the Glacier du Besso. At the end of the glacier there is an uncomfortable border between snow and rock. Climb a rocky slope. First along a flat ridge, which is increasingly exposed. It is recommended to belay in windy weather. At the beginning of the spectacular descent along the Glacier de Moming, pay attention to the gigantic cracks. The departure line (keep left) turns from the northern to the western slope. After reaching the valley there is an easy ascent along the Glacier de Zinal back to Cabane Mountet.

Hubelhorn (day 4, h.r. Swiss Glacier) 3244 m
Bächlitalhütte Berner Alpen / Alpes bernoises Switzerland
- Length of ascent11,5 km
- ascent1730 m
- duration9-11 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦◊
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦◊
The Hubelhorn skitour is an ideal extension of the crossing between the Bächlitalhütte and Gaulihütte. After a short ride from the saddle, Obri Bächlilicke climbs through the steep east slope into the rocky saddle and then slightly up the crossing to Hubelhorn. Beware of some hot spots at the Gauligletscher Glacier. From Gauli hut is a nice tour through the northern slope, but in the opposite direction.

Piz Palü 3882 m
Diavolezza Berghaus Bernina Alps Switzerland
- Length of ascent6,5 km

- duration6,5-8,5 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦◊
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦◊
The Piz Palü with its characteristic three pillars is probably the most popular "not 4000" in the Alps. The exit from the Berghaus Diavolezza is ideal, it is also possible from the Bovalhütte. The key point for the ascent and descent is the passage of the Labyrinth between the Seraks. Continue over a relatively steep glacier to the ski depot. Then ascent with ice axe and crampons along the exposed summit ridge. The usual goal of ski mountaineers is the eastern summit - 3882 m.

Piz Calderas is a popular peak above Chamanna Jenatsch. From the valley above the hut turn left onto the northern slope of the glacier Vadret Calderas. Followed by travers to the glacial mulch and at the end of the southeast slope to the top. Downhill along the exit route.
