Cabane Trient is not far from the border between Switzerland and France. The Hut is a stop on the famous Haute Route Chamonix - Zermatt. It is easiest to reach the hut from the Grands Montets and Lognan cable car stations via the Col Chardonnet and Fenétre de Saleinaz saddles. Another variant of the approach leads from Le Tour. The Haute Route to Lac Champex leads through the Val d´Arpette or through the Glacier d´Orny.

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.

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.

Breithorn - Zermatt 4164 m
Monte Rosa Hütte Walliser Alpen / Alpes valaisannes Switzerland
- Length of ascent3 km
- ascent440 m
- duration3-4 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦◊
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦◊
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.

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.

Davos Albula Alps Switzerland
- Length of ascent6,5 km
- ascent1360 m
- duration5,5-7 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦◊◊

The Ducan Gletscher is a summit with a wonderful view of the Piz Kesch and especially the Piz Ela. The ski tour starts in Monstein, where the highest brewery in Europe is located. The Fanezfurgga saddle leads to valley with a striking mountain. The end of the climb up is usually with ice axe and crampons. The descent through the Ducantal valley is oriented to the north and leads skiers into the Sertigtal valley. The route can also be done in the opposite direction. It is advisable to undertake the tour with the support of public transport.

Grosses Grünhorn 4044 m
Konkordiahütte Berner Alpen / Alpes bernoises Switzerland
- Length of ascent7 km
- ascent1380 m
- duration6,5-8,5 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦◊
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦◊
Gross Grünhorn is the only 4000 meter in the Konkordiahütte area. The ascent leads from Konkordiaplatz along the edge of the Ewigschneefeld glacier and then along the northwestern slopes of the Grünhorn ridge. Beware of glacier cracks around the saddle between Grünegghorn and Gross Grünhorn. Not far from the saddle is a ski depot, from which you can go up with crampons and ice ax. The descent along the ascent route is safer than the descent variant through Grüneggfirn (glacier cracks).
