Monte Rosa Hütte Walliser Alpen / Alpes valaisannes Switzerland
- Length of ascent3 km

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.

Chamanna Boval / Bovalhütte Bernina Alps Switzerland

Piz Bernina is the only 4000m peak in the Eastern Alps. The greatest danger are the huge and numerous crevasses on the Morteratsch Glacier and the ridge to the summit. Piz Bernina sets off from Chamanna Boval or Rifugio Marco e Rosa on the plateau below the summit. Bernina is a demanding alpine challenge.
