ALPHUBEL (Britannia Hütte, Walliser Alpen) is seemingly lighter 4000vka, but over are dangerous glacial cracks. Ski alpinists can also go from the Saas Fee ski area, most not far from the cable car station Langfluh .

Pigne Arolla, Day 5 H.R. Chamonix-Zermatt 3790 m

The Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt between the Chanrion and Vignetts huts offers two options. The clear number one is the line between the ridges above the Col Portons saddle. The only complication may be a few climb steps in the saddle, but it's all about a fantastic ski tour. A great highlight of this skitour is a bonus in the form of the Pigne Arolla summit. Then only the descent to Cabane Vignettes remains.

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.

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.
