The classic mountain hut Schönbielhütte rises on the terrace above the Zmutt glacier. Nice view of the north face of the Matterhorn and the Monte Rosa massif on the horizon. Ski tours to Tete Blanche and Tete Valpelline start from the hut. The demanding crossing of the Haute Route Imperiale, french Tour du Ciel named, begins at Schönbielhütte. As part of the stage to Cabane Mountet you can turn to Mont Durand. The easiest access to the Schönbielhütte is from the Schwarzsee cable car station, you can also start from Zermatt or from the Furi cable car intermediate station.

Mont Durand, also known as the Arbenhorn, is a great panoramic point. Matterhorn on one side, Dent Blanche on the other. From the Schönbielhütte an early morning descent on the edge of the moraine to the plateau Hohle Bielen. On a sunny day it is necessary to overcome the steep slope below the Schönbielhorn in good time. More precisely above the edge of the Hohwäng glacier up to an altitude of 3200 m. Continue with a slight ascent along this glacier in a northeastern direction above the level of the Col Durand saddle. Until the height to which it is possible to climb on skis and with crampons and ice ax on a relatively exposed slope to the summit. If you follow the ascent route, watch out for avalanches and snow slides that come from the Schönbielhorn in the afternoon sun.

ALPHUBEL (Britannia Hütte, Walliser Alpen) is seemingly lighter 4000vka, but over are dangerous glacial cracks. Ski alpinists can also go from the Saas Fee ski area, most not far from the cable car station Langfluh .

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.

- Fitness 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.

Piz Palü 3882 m
Diavolezza Berghaus Bernina Alps Switzerland
- Length of ascent6,5 km
- ascent1180 m
- 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.

- ascent1090 m
- duration4-6 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦◊◊

Pizzo Lucendro je výrazný vrchol nad Gotthardpassem a také prvotřídní rozhledna. Na túru lze vyrazit z údolního Realpu, snazší je start z chaty Rotondohütte. Po sjezdu nad úroveň salaší nastává dlouhý výstup členitým terénem, který nabírá na strmosti. Těsně pod skalním sedlem je v úzkém koridoru zvládání otočky nutností. Za sedlem následuje poměrně snadný výstup do sedla, k místu, kde bývá depo lyží. Při výstupu po hřebeni k vrcholovému kříži pozor na převěje a místy exponovaný terén. Při sjezdu za jarního firnu se vyplatí počkat v sedle, než slunce změkčí stinný svah pro velkolepý odpolední sjezd západním svahem. Z nejnižšího bodu návrat na chatu nebo sjezd až do Realpu.

Hubelhorn (day 4, h.r. Swiss Glacier) 3244 m

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.
