The Chalet Turtmannhütte, french Cabane Tourtemagne, is in a relatively secluded location. Magnificent backdrop of the nearby rock walls and glaciers. The mountain hut is famous for its home cooking, especially excellent soups. The Turtmannhütte is the last hut on the Haute Route Imperale / Tour du Ciel. Üssers Barrhorn is an attractive ski tour. The last tour of the crossing is the ascent to the l´Omen Roso and a spectacular descent to the village of St-Luc. The best way to the hut is by cable car from the Anniviers valley. From the St-Luc ski resort take the cable car at 3000m to Bella Tola and from there via Borterpass and Meidtälli to the hut.

L´Omen Roso is a relatively easy to reach 3000 peak on the edge of the Valais Alps. The ascent begins either in the Turtmannhütte or in the St. Luc ski area in Val d´Anniviers. The usual is this ski tour last stage of the Haute Route Tour du Ciel. From the hut up to the crest and the descent on the other side, into the valley. A technically undemanding ski tour. On the upper ridge, watch out for the cornices.

Bishorn 4153 m

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.

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.

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 .

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.

Vyhlídková, poměrně jednoduchá túra po hřebeni na Piz Badus přes Pazolastock. Na start túry je snadná cesta vlakem z Andermattu. Pozor na laviny při traverzu Pazolastocku. První sjezd je lehký a bezpečný. Logická výstupová linie přes hřeben pod Piz Badus. Na vrchol v mačkách nebo na lyžích, podle podmínek. Letecký pohled na Andermatt. Při sjezdu z Piz Badus pozor na strmý úsek za jezerem. Po nalepení pásů závěrečných 100 výškových metrů do sedla Oberalppass k vlaku (jezdí každou hodinu).

Piz Kesch is a well-known mountain in the Albula Alps region, Piz Kesch clearly falls on the surrounding mountains. The view of Kesch can be enjoyed from Bernina, Muragl and other peaks. The ascent to the ski depot is easy. You go on / climb with an ice axe and crampons. The exposed terrain in places, the difficulty depends on the current snow conditions. Rope protection is usually not necessary. A perfect panoramic view from above.
