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.

Col Valpelline, Day 6 H.R. Chamonix-Zermatt 3551 m

The last stage of the Haute Route Chamonix - Zermatt is an ode to skiing. After an easy ascent to three saddles - Col de Eveque, Col du Mont Brulé and Col Valpelline. Every ski mountaineer will be amazed by the panorama of the impressive 4000m peaks - Dent Blanche, Matterhorn and Dent d´Hérens. This is followed by a 10 km descent to Zermatt.

Signalkuppe / Punta Gnifetti is the highest peak in the Alps that can be climbed on skis. At the top, you can sleep in the winter room of the highest mountain hut in the Alps - Capanna Margherita (CAI). From the top is a fantastic view of the Italian part of the Alps. In the first half of this long ski tour, watch out for numerous crevasses. The rest of the ski tour over the glacier Grenzgletscher is technically easy and there is no steep passage along the entire route. This ski mountain tour is practically impossible during low-snow winters - inquire at the Monte Rosa Hut.

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.

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.).

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.
