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.

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 ♦♦♦♦

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.

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 .

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.

Skvělým skialpovým vrcholem uprostřed oblasti je Monte Rosso. Výhodou okruhu je maximalistický krajinářský zážitek. Po výstupu do dvou sedel se otevřou vždy nové výhledy. Od chaty míříme nejprve do sedla Sella del Forno. Koukáme na Berninu a dolů na skiresort Valmalenco. Krásným kotlem po krátkém sjezdu traverujeme a míříme nahoru do druhého sedla – Passo di Val Bona. Po strmějším svahu do místa na skalním hřebenu, kde je skidepot. Odtud v mačkách na vrchol. Na lyžích parádní sjezd jihozápadním svahem na ledovec Forno a zpět nahoru k chatě.

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.
