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 last stage of the Haute Route Chamonix - Zermatt is an ode to skiing. After an easy ascent to three saddles - Col de Eveque, Col du Mont Brulé and Col Valpelline. Every ski mountaineer will be amazed by the panorama of the impressive 4000m peaks - Dent Blanche, Matterhorn and Dent d´Hérens. This is followed by a 10 km descent to Zermatt.

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.

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.

Túra na impozantní Mnich (Mönch) je v podstatě dlouhou hřebenovkou v mačkách a s cepínem. S rostoucí výškou roste obtížnost. S úbytkem ledovcového příkrovu roste expozice. Pokud nejste horský vůdce, nepoužívejte techniku krátkého lana. V závěrečném úseku je každá chyba nevratná. Výstup přináší fantastický zážitek se spoustou výhledů na nádherný svět ledovců.

Skialpová Pizzi dei Rossi je ideální volbou pro poslední den na chatě. Návrat na parkoviště pod Malojapassem má úplně jinou úroveň, než přesun údolím. Výstup z chaty vede často traverzy zápaního svahu, na jaře jsou haršajsny nutností. Náročný je až výstup prudkým svahem do sedla, většinou bude nutné nasadit mačky a lyže dát batoh. Ze sedla nalehko a bez lyží na vrchol. Sjezd severním kuloárem je zprvu velmi prudký a bmusí se projet zúžením mezi skalami. Dál po pláních je už luxusní svah a když je dobrý sníh, je to fantastický sjezd. Ten pokračuje i údolím Val Muretto až na planinu Canis. Pár krátkých protisvahů na kraj soutěsky a pak už zase jen dolů k mostu přes horskou bystřinu a po rovině na parkoviště.

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.
