Cabane Tracuit was converted to a brand new high-tech hut in 2013. Tracuit hut is located on the Haute Route Imperiale (french Tour du Ciel). Starting point for the climb to 4000 Bishorn. It is possible to go to the Turtmannhütte, in good conditions you can do this above the Üssers Barrhorn. Zinal's access is very long. In order to master the route from Cabane Mountet to Blanc Moming, is excellent physical condition required.

The stage begins at the Cabane Tracuit with an ascent of the 4,000-meter peak Bishorn, which is considered relatively easy. After skiing back down to the Tracuit hut, the route continues with a descent over the Turtmanngletscher glacier. A subsequent climb over the Brunegggletscher glacier leads into a rocky corridor, which marks the beginning of the descent to the Turtmannhütte.

Bishorn seems to be a relatively light 4000, but looks are deceptive. If you include the approach to Cabane Tracuit from Zinal in the ascent, it is quite a long ski tour. From the hut the ascent line leads slightly up the glacier Turtmanngletscher. Directly below the peak on the plateau you have to swap skis for crampons and comfortably climb to the panoramic summit - one of the best in all of Valais. Driving down the northern slope is usually a fantastic enjoyment, the risk of glacier cracks is minimal.

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.

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 .

A relatively easy ascent, though steep in places, from Lake Turtmannsee, which is reached by descending from the Turtmannhütte. From the summit ridge, there's a long descent to the Hotel Weisshorn, followed by forest trails leading down to the village of St. Luc - Chandolin in the Val d'Anniviers.

Vorderes Galmihorn je skvělý skialpový vrchol na závěr akce v centru Bernských Alp. Po výstupu na vrchol z chaty Oberaletschhütte přináší skvělou možnost sjezdu do údolí Goms, což je logisticky výhodné v případě startu lanovkou z Fiesch. Výstup vede po mírném ledovci Galmigletscher a dále po přehledném svahu posetém trhlinami. Při sjezdu dávejte pozor na trhlinu pod sedlem Bächlilicke. Na jaře vás v závěru túry nemine pochod do údolí s lyžemi na batohu. Nabízí se sjezd do Reckingenu nebo Münsteru.

Flüela Wisshorn is the most interesting ski tour around Davos. It is offered to do an interesting round with two great downhills. The north slope to the Jöriseen lakes promises powder, while the south slopes to the Flüelatal valley promise firn. The ascent is not very demanding, at the end to the summit without skis with the help of crampons, then down to Jöriseen and noc once in the nameless saddle. Finally departure to the Flüelatal. Attention, in 2019 there was a landslide of stones in the area of the ascent route, which therefore changes the ascent route.

Na vrchol Finsteraarhorn míří náročná ledovcová túra z chaty Finsteraarhornhütte. Hned od začátku túry jsou cestou velkolepé výhledy. Náročnější je překonání skalního žebra. Po ledovci do sedla Hugisattel s leteckým pohledem na východní stěnu. Zde je skidepot a dál v mačkách a s cepínem na skialpové poměry náročným terénem. Obtížnost lezení zásadně ovlivňuje množství a konzistence sněhu na skále. Náročný sjezd prudkými svahy kopíruje linii výstupu.
