The Ducan Gletscher is a summit with a wonderful view of the Piz Kesch and especially the Piz Ela. The ski tour starts in Monstein, where the highest brewery in Europe is located. The Fanezfurgga saddle leads to valley with a striking mountain. The end of the climb up is usually with ice axe and crampons. The descent through the Ducantal valley is oriented to the north and leads skiers into the Sertigtal valley. The route can also be done in the opposite direction. It is advisable to undertake the tour with the support of public transport.
Blanc de Moming - Dôme Circuit 3649 m

Blanc de Moming - Dôme is a beautiful but also very demanding complex ski tour. First ascent from Cabane Mountet to La Forcle saddle and then not very easy descent and then ascent along the Glacier du Besso. At the end of the glacier there is an uncomfortable border between snow and rock. Climb a rocky slope. First along a flat ridge, which is increasingly exposed. It is recommended to belay in windy weather. At the beginning of the spectacular descent along the Glacier de Moming, pay attention to the gigantic cracks. The departure line (keep left) turns from the northern to the western slope. After reaching the valley there is an easy ascent along the Glacier de Zinal back to Cabane Mountet.
Bishorn 4153 m

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.
