Petit Combin is a flat panoramic summit with a view of the Valais Alps and the Mont Blanc massif. An ideal sightseeing tour. Ascends along the Corbassiere glacier and descends the Glacier des Follats (watch out for seracs and cracks). Finally over the glacier to Cabane FXB Panossiére.

Blanc de Moming - Dôme Circuit 3649 m
Cabane du Mountet Walliser Alpen / Alpes valaisannes Switzerland
- Length of ascent10 km

- duration9-11 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦♦

Blanc de Moming - Dôme is a beautiful but also very demanding complex ski tour. First ascent from Cabane Mountet to La Forcle saddle and then not very easy descent and then ascent along the Glacier du Besso. At the end of the glacier there is an uncomfortable border between snow and rock. Climb a rocky slope. First along a flat ridge, which is increasingly exposed. It is recommended to belay in windy weather. At the beginning of the spectacular descent along the Glacier de Moming, pay attention to the gigantic cracks. The departure line (keep left) turns from the northern to the western slope. After reaching the valley there is an easy ascent along the Glacier de Zinal back to Cabane Mountet.

Velkolepá a náročná túra na vrchol v monumentální horské krajině mezi ledovci. Z chaty Chanrion po trase do sedla Portons. Včas odboč doleva na ledovec Brenay. Klíčem k úspěchu je trefit kanál, kterým se vystoupá na svah Ruinette a poměrně snadno se pokračuje do sedla pod vrcholovou pyramidu. Tady je skidepot a dále v mačkách a s cepínem. Sjezd po trase výstupu.

One of the two variants of the 2nd day stage of the classic Haute Route Chamonix-Zermatt. From the hut Cabane Trient, descend briefly northwards, then a short climb to the saddle Col Escandies (2793 m). Complicated terrain from the saddle down, often with crampons and skis on a backpack. Then a long descent along the north-east slope through the Val d´Árpette to Champex. From there by bus to Orsiéres, it is good to take the bus at 12:58, in Orsieres change to the connection to Bourg St-Pierre (2:00 p.m.).

Bishorn seems to be a relatively light 4000, but looks are deceptive. If you include the approach to Cabane Tracuit from Zinal in the ascent, it is quite a long ski tour. From the hut the ascent line leads slightly up the glacier Turtmanngletscher. Directly below the peak on the plateau you have to swap skis for crampons and comfortably climb to the panoramic summit - one of the best in all of Valais. Driving down the northern slope is usually a fantastic enjoyment, the risk of glacier cracks is minimal.
