The Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt between the Chanrion and Vignetts huts offers two options. The clear number one is the line between the ridges above the Col Portons saddle. The only complication may be a few climb steps in the saddle, but it's all about a fantastic ski tour. A great highlight of this skitour is a bonus in the form of the Pigne Arolla summit. Then only the descent to Cabane Vignettes remains.

Velkolepá a náročná túra na vrchol v monumentální horské krajině mezi ledovci. Z chaty Chanrion po trase do sedla Portons. Včas odboč doleva na ledovec Brenay. Klíčem k úspěchu je trefit kanál, kterým se vystoupá na svah Ruinette a poměrně snadno se pokračuje do sedla pod vrcholovou pyramidu. Tady je skidepot a dále v mačkách a s cepínem. Sjezd po trase výstupu.
