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.

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.

Tour du Ciel (known as the reverse direction of the Haute Route Impériale) begins with the first real stage from the Schönbiel Hut, featuring a descent along the edge of the moraine. This is followed by a long, steep climb over glacier seracs, ideally tackled in the early morning. The subsequent ascent over the Hohlwäng Glacier to the Col Durand (3404 m) is then straightforward. An alternative is to turn right before the pass and climb Mont Durand. From the pass, descend over the Glacier Durand, followed by a short climb to the Cabane Mountet.

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.

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.

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.

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.
