The Cabane des Vignettes is located at the crossroads of two haute routes to Zermatt. One leads from Chamonix and the other from Verbier. All ski tours to the Vignettes hut follow the glaciers. The easiest approach is from Arolla. In addition to going from hut to hut, you can ski from Vignettes to the peaks of L'Eveque, Mont Brulé and Pigne Arolla. Reservations have to be made on time.

Breithorn - Zermatt 4164 m

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.

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.

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.

The top of the Gross Wannenhorn is a first-class lookout tower on the largest alpine glacier, the Aletsch glacier and the many 4,000-meter peaks in the Bernese Alps. After a short descent from the Finsteraarhorn Hut over the glacier Fieschergletscher at the foot of the Wannenhorn. During the ascent along a wide slope, watch out for numerous and large crevasses. Finally, the ascent line turns westwards upwards. When driving downhill, copy the exit route and pay attention to crevasses again.

After Tödi, Clariden is the second most popular ski tour in the Glarus Alps. The ascent leads along the gentle Claridenfirn glacier from Claridenhütte to the foot of Clariden and then through a wide northeast slope to the top pyramid. Beautiful views of the entire Glarus Alps and the neighboring Uri Alps. Descent copies the ascent track. A popular alternative is to continue crossing the Planura hut after descending the steep slope turn right to Claridenpass.

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.
