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 .

Plateau Couloir, Day4 H.R.Chamonix-Zermatt 3640 m
Cabane Valsorey Walliser Alpen / Alpes valaisannes Switzerland
- Length of ascent3,5 km
- ascent1085 m
- duration6-8 h

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.

Breithorn can be rated as the lightest 4000 in the Alps. In any case, thanks to the support of the Klein Matterhorn cable car, which transports ski mountaineers up to 3880 m. From the cable car station (beautiful viewpoint) to the glacier plain below the summit, which can be often reached on skis. In good conditions, it is worthwhile to continue to the Schwarztor saddle and drive descent back to Zermatt. The second variant of the freeride is the descent from the Unterer Theodulgletscher. This descent is simply great up to Seehöre 2400.

Tournelon Blanc is a challenging ski tour in the neighborhood of the Grand Combins. The passage between large crevasses in the 3000 and 3400 m zone is complicated. From the Col du Tournelon Blanc saddle to the summit without any problems. In addition to the Cabane Panossiére route, you can ski this mountain from the Cabane Chanrion hut.

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.).

Grand Combin je velmi náročnou skialpinistickou túrou, kterou lze podniknout jen za výborných podmínek - informujte se s předstihem na chatě Panossiére. Nejprve po ledovci Corbassiére na úrove'n Plateau des Maisons Blanches. Dále prudké stoupání z Plateau Déjeuner do úrovně 4000 m a pak mírným stoupání na vrchol Combin de Grafeneire.
