547/5000 Tierberglücke & Sacklimi, these are two saddles between huts. If not ideal conditions, it is a very difficult tour. The Tierberglücke saddle waits for a 1300 m steep downhill ride on the western slope of the Zwischen Tierbergen glacier. Locally challenging and avalanche. After crossing the creek from Triftgletscher, a very difficult ascent takes place through a narrow corridor, often turning every 5 meters. There follows a wide crest that rises to Sacklimi saddle. In the ascent finish to Sacklimi is steep and there is a risk of loosening the avalanche. The downhill is easy and the final downhill to the Trift Hut also.

The Hubelhorn tour is an ideal extension of the crossing between the Bächlitalhütte and Gaulihütte. After a short ride from the saddle, Obri Bächlilicke climbs through the steep east slope into the rocky saddle and then slightly up the crossing to Hubelhorn. Beware of some hot spots at the Gauligletscher Glacier. From Gauli hut is a nice tour through the northern slope, but in the opposite direction.
