The Piz Palü with its characteristic three pillars is probably the most popular "not 4000" in the Alps. The exit from the Berghaus Diavolezza is ideal, it is also possible from the Bovalhütte. The key point for the ascent and descent is the passage of the Labyrinth between the Seraks. Continue over a relatively steep glacier to the ski depot. Then ascent with ice axe and crampons along the exposed summit ridge. The usual goal of ski mountaineers is the eastern summit - 3882 m.

Piz Kesch is a well-known mountain in the Albula Alps region, Piz Kesch clearly falls on the surrounding mountains. The view of Kesch can be enjoyed from Bernina, Muragl and other peaks. The ascent to the ski depot is easy. You go on / climb with an ice axe and crampons. The exposed terrain in places, the difficulty depends on the current snow conditions. Rope protection is usually not necessary. A perfect panoramic view from above.

Bishorn seems to be a relatively light 4000, but looks are deceptive. If you include the approach to Cabane Tracuit from Zinal in the ascent, it is quite a long ski tour. From the hut the ascent line leads slightly up the glacier Turtmanngletscher. Directly below the peak on the plateau you have to swap skis for crampons and comfortably climb to the panoramic summit - one of the best in all of Valais. Driving down the northern slope is usually a fantastic enjoyment, the risk of glacier cracks is minimal.
