The top of the Gross Wannenhorn is a first-class lookout tower on the largest alpine glacier, the Aletsch glacier and the many 4,000-meter peaks in the Bernese Alps. After a short descent from the Finsteraarhorn Hut over the glacier Fieschergletscher at the foot of the Wannenhorn. During the ascent along a wide slope, watch out for numerous and large crevasses. Finally, the ascent line turns westwards upwards. When driving downhill, copy the exit route and pay attention to crevasses again.

The Hubelhorn skitour is an ideal extension of the crossing between the Bächlitalhütte and Gaulihütte. After a short ride from the saddle, Obri Bächlilicke climbs through the steep east slope into the rocky saddle and then slightly up the crossing to Hubelhorn. Beware of some hot spots at the Gauligletscher Glacier. From Gauli hut is a nice tour through the northern slope, but in the opposite direction.

Gross Grünhorn is the only 4000 meter in the Konkordiahütte area. The ascent leads from Konkordiaplatz along the edge of the Ewigschneefeld glacier and then along the northwestern slopes of the Grünhorn ridge. Beware of glacier cracks around the saddle between Grünegghorn and Gross Grünhorn. Not far from the saddle is a ski depot, from which you can go up with crampons and ice ax. The descent along the ascent route is safer than the descent variant through Grüneggfirn (glacier cracks).

Jungfrau is a very popular 4000 in the Bernese Alps. From the highest train station in Europe - the Jungfraujoch - you can easily board. But be careful, don't climb to the top without acclimatizing! Not far from the Jungfraujoch station is the Mönchsjochhütte or above the confluence of the Aletschgletscher Konkordia Hut. The only complication of the ascent is glacier cracks. Overcoming the crevasse under the Rottasattel can be complicated. The last climb up to the summit is climbed without skis. The descent line follows the ascent track. You have to reckon with a 450 hm ascent return to the hut.
