The fourth stage of the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt is one of the most beautiful mountain experiences. First ascent from Cabane Valsorey to the Plateau Couloir Sattel, for the most part an ascent with crampons is necessary. This is followed by a long descent over the Col Sonadon saddle along the Glacier du Mont Durand and at the end an easy ascent to the hut Cabane Chanrion.

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.
