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.

The Haute Route Grande Lui variant from Chamonix to Zermatt, also known as the "Haute Route Pure", leads from La Fouly to the Grand Saint Bernard Pass. Overnight accommodation is provided in the hospice of the same name, under conditions similar to those in a mountain hut. The traverse of the slope below the Ferret lakes is particularly prone to avalanches.

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.

Hiking on top of fantastic lookout tower. Glacier skitour. At the end, you will reach the summit from the north, to the top of the climbing terrain. Next continue to the Diechterlimi saddle and from there a fantastic downhill run to Gelmerhütte and then to the Gelmersee dam. If the lake is not frozen, the route along the northern bank can be very challenging, depending on the snow conditions. After crossing the dam, is coming downhill, often very complicated, traversing western slope to the Grimselpass road. After that, a bit on the parking lot under the Räterichsboden dam and at first a steep traverse to Bächlihütte - a hut on the top.

Impressive very long ski tour on the more pronounced Piz Platta summit in the Plattagruppe-Oberhalbstein mountain group. Aproach from the village of Mulengs - road from Tiefencastel to Julierpass. First a few kilometers through the forest, then left at the foot of the mountain and then constantly up the northeast slope to the plateau (ski depot). Next you have to climb the southern slope to the top plateau with crampons and ice axe.
