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.

Tierberglücke & Sacklimi, these are two saddles between huts. If not ideal conditions, it is a very difficult tour. The Tierberglücke saddle waits for a 1300 m steep downhill ride on the western slope of the Zwischen Tierbergen glacier. Locally challenging and avalanche. After crossing the creek from Triftgletscher, a very difficult ascent takes place through a narrow corridor, often turning every 5 meters. There follows a wide crest that rises to Sacklimi saddle. In the ascent finish to Sacklimi is route steep and there is a avalanche risk. The downhill is easy and the final ascent to the Trift Hut also.
