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.

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.

Tour du Ciel - day 3 3649 m
Cabane du Mountet Walliser Alpen / Alpes valaisannes Switzerland
- Length of ascent10,5 km
- ascent2420 m
- duration10-12 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦♦

A very long and demanding, royal stage of this Haute Route. In my opinion, the most impressive stage of all multi-day Alpine crossings. Due to the elevation gain and time required, it’s worth considering splitting the stage into two days with an overnight stay in Zinal. The long, exposed ridge to the summit requires rope protection depending on conditions. The descent is fantastically long, but caution is needed – there are large crevasses. This ski tour is only recommended in stable weather; in poor conditions, it’s advisable to bypass the Blanc de Moming via the Glacier de Zinal and ascend directly to the Cabane de Tracuit.

- Length of ascent3 km

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.

Strahlhorn (Britannia Hütte, Walliser Alpen) is a classic glacier ski tour from Britannia Hütte. From the Adlerpass saddle, you usually go skiing to the top. To get off Saas Fee, take the Metro to the "window" at 3460 m to the Hohlaub Gletscher and start the ascent after a short ride.

Piz Buin ze švýcarské strany je zajímavější túra než ze strany rakouské. výstup v závěrečné části je stejný. Pod stěnu vede trasa přes sedla Plan Mezdi a Fuorcla dal Cunfin. Za stabilní sněhové pokrývky je alternativou sjezd žlabem Buinlücke.

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.

Cima di Rosso je skialpová klasika v oblasti Forno. Ledovcová túra s vynikajícim výhledem na Munt Disgrazia a Piz Bernina. Kromě sjezdu po trase výstupu je možná sjezdová alernativa severním svahem, kde bývá často prašan.
