Baranec is the highest ski tour above the mountain hut Žiarska chata. The most popular variant is Jarný žlab. First, near the hut overcomes the creek. Then follow the ascent through the Jarný žlab, on the steep slope to the ridge. It goes up easier. It is recommended descent trough the Jarny žlab or the neighboring Maďarský žlab. The descent through the Baranecký kotol is very difficult and dangerous.
Hubelhorn (day 4, h.r. Swiss Glacier) 3244 m

Bächlitalhütte Berner Alpen / Alpes bernoises Switzerland

The Hubelhorn skitour 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.

Favorite ski tour from Essener-Rostocker Hütte. Climbing the Grosser Geiger from the south leads along the Maurerkees glacier. At 2650 meters, the route turns north-westward and heads a rather steep slope towards the flat upper glacier. There is skidepo under the top pyramid. On the top of the undemanding terrain in crampons and ice axe. Follow the same route to hut.
