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.

Gross Grünhorn is the only 4000 meter in the Konkordiahütte area. The ascent leads from Konkordiaplatz along the edge of the Ewigschneefeld glacier and then along the northwestern slopes of the Grünhorn ridge. Beware of glacier cracks around the saddle between Grünegghorn and Gross Grünhorn. Not far from the saddle is a ski depot, from which you can go up with crampons and ice ax. The descent along the ascent route is safer than the descent variant through Grüneggfirn (glacier cracks).

Skialpová túra na Grosses Degenhorn míří na jeden z nejvyšších vrcholů pohoří Villgraten, a proto je z něj skvělý výhled. Nádherný firnový sjezd si musíte zasloužit dlouhým výstupem přes údolí Arntal. Díky své výšší poloze je možné túru podniknout i v květnu. V jarních podmínkách je nutné počítat s dlouhou chůzí bez lyží údolím Arntal.
