Tour du Ciel - day 3 3649 m
Cabane du Mountet Walliser Alpen / Alpes valaisannes Switzerland
- Length of ascent10,5 km
- ascent2420 m
- duration10-12 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦♦

A very long and demanding, royal stage of this Haute Route. In my opinion, the most impressive stage of all multi-day Alpine crossings. Due to the elevation gain and time required, it’s worth considering splitting the stage into two days with an overnight stay in Zinal. The long, exposed ridge to the summit requires rope protection depending on conditions. The descent is fantastically long, but caution is needed – there are large crevasses. This ski tour is only recommended in stable weather; in poor conditions, it’s advisable to bypass the Blanc de Moming via the Glacier de Zinal and ascend directly to the Cabane de Tracuit.

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 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.

Piz Muragl je dokonalá vyhlídková hora. Výstup ulehčí zubačka na Muottas Muragl a příjemný sjezd dovede lyžaře na parkoviště u vláčku. Perfektní výhledy na velikány masivu Bernina i kaskádu jezer kolem St. Moritz. Technicky nenáročná túra.

Grosses Grünhorn je jediná 4000vka v oblasti chaty Konkordiahütte. Výstup z chaty Mönchsjochhütte vede z po ledovci Ewigschneefeld a následně po severozápadních svazích na hřeben Grünhornu. Pozor na ledovcové trhliny. Nedaleko od sedla je skidepot od kterého se jde na vrchol v mačkách. Sjezd pokračuje logicky na Konkordiaplatz a túra končí na chatě Konkordia. Tak je to ideální. Alternativou je výstup sjezd přes vrchol Grünegghorn, na který se musí vylézt s lyžemi na batohu.

Vyhlídková, poměrně jednoduchá túra po hřebeni na Piz Badus přes Pazolastock. Na start túry je snadná cesta vlakem z Andermattu. Pozor na laviny při traverzu Pazolastocku. První sjezd je lehký a bezpečný. Logická výstupová linie přes hřeben pod Piz Badus. Na vrchol v mačkách nebo na lyžích, podle podmínek. Letecký pohled na Andermatt. Při sjezdu z Piz Badus pozor na strmý úsek za jezerem. Po nalepení pásů závěrečných 100 výškových metrů do sedla Oberalppass k vlaku (jezdí každou hodinu).
