The Hospice du Grand-Saint-Bernard serves not only a spiritual role but also functions as a mountain hut at the Grand Saint Bernard Pass between Switzerland and Italy. It is operated in a similar way to other alpine huts. This hospice offers refuge to ski mountaineers following the Grand Lui variant of the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt.

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.

Strahlhorn (Britannia Hütte, Walliser Alpen) is a classic glacier ski tour from Britannia Hütte. From the Adlerpass saddle, you usually go skiing to the top. To get off Saas Fee, take the Metro to the "window" at 3460 m to the Hohlaub Gletscher and start the ascent after a short ride.

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.

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.

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.

Isentällispitz is another enjoyable ski tour starting in the Flüelatal valley. From the Tschuggen parking lot, ascend over wide slopes to the saddle, where the ski depot is located. From there, continue with crampons to the panoramic summit. The descent follows the ascent route.
