Piz d´Err is a popular ski tour to the panoramic summit. The technically undemanding ski tour begins in Chamanna Jenatsch. The only steep section is climbing on the summit. A first class experience is under stable conditions the descent to the opposite side, western slopes to Surselva, more precisely to the village Sur, a total of 1,800 m.

The ascent to the Isenfürggli saddle is a worthwhile addition after successful descents from Pischahorn or Isentällispitz. Especially in firn conditions or fresh powder, it is a rewarding destination. From the saddle, there is a beautiful view of the Silvretta range, with the striking Piz Linard as its centerpiece.

Vorderes Galmihorn je skvělý skialpový vrchol na závěr akce v centru Bernských Alp. Po výstupu na vrchol z chaty Oberaletschhütte přináší skvělou možnost sjezdu do údolí Goms, což je logisticky výhodné v případě startu lanovkou z Fiesch. Výstup vede po mírném ledovci Galmigletscher a dále po přehledném svahu posetém trhlinami. Při sjezdu dávejte pozor na trhlinu pod sedlem Bächlilicke. Na jaře vás v závěru túry nemine pochod do údolí s lyžemi na batohu. Nabízí se sjezd do Reckingenu nebo Münsteru.

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.

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.
