Mont Durand, also known as the Arbenhorn, is a great panoramic point. Matterhorn on one side, Dent Blanche on the other. From the Schönbielhütte an early morning descent on the edge of the moraine to the plateau Hohle Bielen. On a sunny day it is necessary to overcome the steep slope below the Schönbielhorn in good time. More precisely above the edge of the Hohwäng glacier up to an altitude of 3200 m. Continue with a slight ascent along this glacier in a northeastern direction above the level of the Col Durand saddle. Until the height to which it is possible to climb on skis and with crampons and ice ax on a relatively exposed slope to the summit. If you follow the ascent route, watch out for avalanches and snow slides that come from the Schönbielhorn in the afternoon sun.

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.
