Breithorn can be rated as the lightest 4000 in the Alps. In any case, thanks to the support of the Klein Matterhorn cable car, which transports ski mountaineers up to 3880 m. From the cable car station (beautiful viewpoint) to the glacier plain below the summit, which can be often reached on skis. In good conditions, it is worthwhile to continue to the Schwarztor saddle and drive descent back to Zermatt. The second variant of the freeride is the descent from the Unterer Theodulgletscher. This descent is simply great up to Seehöre 2400.

Nordend is a very challenging glacier ski tour to an important summit in the Monte Rosa massif. The biggest problem is the huge crevasses, due to which the ascent and descent route has to be adjusted. Relevant information about this is available in the Monte Rosa Hut. Only creviasses make difficult the ascent to the saddle Silbersattel, further up the ascent without skis (crampons + ice axe) bends along a relatively exposed slope to the summit. The descent is fantastic, but watch out for cracks again. Simply put, challenging ski tour!

Jungfrau is a very popular 4000 in the Bernese Alps. From the highest train station in Europe - the Jungfraujoch - you can easily board. But be careful, don't climb to the top without acclimatizing! Not far from the Jungfraujoch station is the Mönchsjochhütte or above the confluence of the Aletschgletscher Konkordia Hut. The only complication of the ascent is glacier cracks. Overcoming the crevasse under the Rottasattel can be complicated. The last climb up to the summit is climbed without skis. The descent line follows the ascent track. You have to reckon with a 450 hm ascent return to the hut.

Dufourspitze / Punta Dufour je nejvyšším vrcholem Švýcarska v masivu Monte Rosa. Skialpinistická túra na vrchol je až do výšky 4000 m shodná s výstupem na Norden. Trasa na Dufourspitze se pak stáčí jižním směrem na ledovec Satteltolle na odtud bez lyží po hřebeni na vrchol. Původní trasa výstupu ze sedla Silbersattel je od roku 2019 nelezitelná, fixní lana byla odstraněna.
