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.

ALLALINHORN (Britannia Hütte, Walliser Alpen) is one of the lightest 4000 in the Alps. By Metro in Mittelallalin and only 500 meters to the peak. In the case of excellent conditions the downhill slopes from the top west cross to the Feejoch.

L´Omen Roso is a relatively easy to reach 3000 peak on the edge of the Valais Alps. The ascent begins either in the Turtmannhütte or in the St. Luc ski area in Val d´Anniviers. The usual is this ski tour last stage of the Haute Route Tour du Ciel. From the hut up to the crest and the descent on the other side, into the valley. A technically undemanding ski tour. On the upper ridge, watch out for the cornices.

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.

Val Arpette (Day2, H.R. Chamonix-Zermatt) 2793 m

- Fitness difficulty ♦♦◊◊
- Technical difficulty ♦♦◊◊
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.).
