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.

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.
