Gross Mosermandl je spolu s Weisseckem absolutním highlightem oblasti Zederhaustal v regionu Salzburger Lungau. Z parkoviště Wald se stoupá nejprve mírně údolím, pak po lesní cestě nahoru nad hranici lesa. Následují už svahy se sklonem 30 stupňů a větším. Nejobtížnější pasáž je v závěru výstupu, většinou bez lyží, v mačkách. Sjezd kopíruje trasu výstupu. Při dostatku času a sil je možné jít do Waldu přes kopec Schöpfling a místo cesty údolím si užít hezký sjezd.

Strahlhorn (Britannia Hütte, Walliser Alpen) is a classic glacier ski tour from Britannia Hütte. From the Adlerpass saddle, you usually go skiing to the top. To get off Saas Fee, take the Metro to the "window" at 3460 m to the Hohlaub Gletscher and start the ascent after a short ride.

A very long and demanding, royal stage of this Haute Route. In my opinion, the most impressive stage of all multi-day Alpine crossings. Due to the elevation gain and time required, it’s worth considering splitting the stage into two days with an overnight stay in Zinal. The long, exposed ridge to the summit requires rope protection depending on conditions. The descent is fantastically long, but caution is needed – there are large crevasses. This ski tour is only recommended in stable weather; in poor conditions, it’s advisable to bypass the Blanc de Moming via the Glacier de Zinal and ascend directly to the Cabane de Tracuit.
