The Oberaarjochhütte is a modernized mountain hut with a unique location above the Oberaarjoch Pass. It is built on a rock ledge and is therefore accessible only by ladder. Its advantage lies in its seclusion from the main flow of ski tourers. On the crossing from the Konkordia or Finsteraarhornhütte, you can enjoy the romance of the high mountains without any people around. From the hut, you can see the imposing face of Finsteraarhorn. The hut serves as the starting point for Vordere Galmihorn, and with the subsequent descent into the Goms Valley, you elegantly complete the Haute Route of the Bernese Alps.

Vorderes Galmihorn je skvělý skialpový vrchol na závěr akce v centru Bernských Alp. Po výstupu na vrchol z chaty Oberaletschhütte přináší skvělou možnost sjezdu do údolí Goms, což je logisticky výhodné v případě startu lanovkou z Fiesch. Výstup vede po mírném ledovci Galmigletscher a dále po přehledném svahu posetém trhlinami. Při sjezdu dávejte pozor na trhlinu pod sedlem Bächlilicke. Na jaře vás v závěru túry nemine pochod do údolí s lyžemi na batohu. Nabízí se sjezd do Reckingenu nebo Münsteru.

- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦◊

Skialpová túra na Jungfrau z chaty Konkordia začíná velmi dlouhým nástupem po ledovci Jungfraufirn. Následuje prudký výstup na hřeben a dále do sedla Rottalsattel přes nepříjemnou thlinu. Skidepot a na mčkách a s cepínem po plochém hřebenu na vrchol. Alternativní sjezd přes sedlo Louwitor na ledovec Aletschfirn a po něm na chatu Konkordia. Možné je po dosažení vrcholu pokračovat na nádraží Jungfraujoch nebo nocovat na Mönchsjochhütte.

The Hubelhorn skitour is an ideal extension of the crossing between the Bächlitalhütte and Gaulihütte. After a short ride from the saddle, Obri Bächlilicke climbs through the steep east slope into the rocky saddle and then slightly up the crossing to Hubelhorn. Beware of some hot spots at the Gauligletscher Glacier. From Gauli hut is a nice tour through the northern slope, but in the opposite direction.

Na vrchol Finsteraarhorn míří náročná ledovcová túra z chaty Finsteraarhornhütte. Hned od začátku túry jsou cestou velkolepé výhledy. Náročnější je překonání skalního žebra. Po ledovci do sedla Hugisattel s leteckým pohledem na východní stěnu. Zde je skidepot a dál v mačkách a s cepínem na skialpové poměry náročným terénem. Obtížnost lezení zásadně ovlivňuje množství a konzistence sněhu na skále. Náročný sjezd prudkými svahy kopíruje linii výstupu.

Impressive very long ski tour on the more pronounced Piz Platta summit in the Plattagruppe-Oberhalbstein mountain group. Aproach from the village of Mulengs - road from Tiefencastel to Julierpass. First a few kilometers through the forest, then left at the foot of the mountain and then constantly up the northeast slope to the plateau (ski depot). Next you have to climb the southern slope to the top plateau with crampons and ice axe.

Pigne d´Arolla is a very popular and easily accessible viewpoint. The ski tour to the summit leads from the three mountain huts - Cabane Dix, Cabane Vignettes and Cabane Chanrion. The route from Dix goes around the glacial seracs to the saddle Col de la Serpentine and the summit can be reached on skis. A worthwhile summit on the Haute Routes to Zermatt.

The Haute Route Grande Lui variant from Chamonix to Zermatt, also known as the "Haute Route Pure", leads from La Fouly to the Grand Saint Bernard Pass. Overnight accommodation is provided in the hospice of the same name, under conditions similar to those in a mountain hut. The traverse of the slope below the Ferret lakes is particularly prone to avalanches.
