The mountain hut Cabane Bertol is perched on a rock above the Glacier du Mont Miné and offers wide-ranging views. The ascent to the hut is via ladders. Cabane Bertol is accessible from both Arolla and Zermatt. It is also a popular stop on the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt. From Bertol, relatively easy glacier tours lead to the summits of Tête Blanche and Tête de Valpelline.

Blanc de Moming - Dôme Circuit 3649 m
Cabane du Mountet Walliser Alpen / Alpes valaisannes Switzerland
- Length of ascent10 km
- ascent2035 m
- duration9-11 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦♦
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦♦
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.

Breithorn - Zermatt 4164 m
Monte Rosa Hütte Walliser Alpen / Alpes valaisannes Switzerland
- Length of ascent3 km
- ascent440 m
- duration3-4 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦◊
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦◊
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.

Tour du Ciel - day 2 3404 m
Schönbielhütte Walliser Alpen / Alpes valaisannes Switzerland
- Length of ascent5 km
- ascent1190 m
- duration5-7 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦◊
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦◊
Tour du Ciel (known as the reverse direction of the Haute Route Impériale) begins with the first real stage from the Schönbiel Hut, featuring a descent along the edge of the moraine. This is followed by a long, steep climb over glacier seracs, ideally tackled in the early morning. The subsequent ascent over the Hohlwäng Glacier to the Col Durand (3404 m) is then straightforward. An alternative is to turn right before the pass and climb Mont Durand. From the pass, descend over the Glacier Durand, followed by a short climb to the Cabane Mountet.

Piz Surlej - Piz San Gian 3187 m
St. Moritz Bernina Alps Switzerland
- Length of ascent4 km
- ascent990 m
- duration4-6 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦◊◊
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦◊
Piz Surlej and Piz San Gian is an interesting ski tour over two neighboring peaks. In the morning you take the cable car to Piz Corvatsch and enjoy the wonderful view of the Albula Alps as well as the lakes Sils and Silvaplana. Follow the ski slope to the Margun Vegl cable car station or to the upper station (2643 m). A logical line to Piz Surlej and further along the ridge to Piz San Gian. And then a spectacular descent to St. Moritz. Warning, some slopes of this ski tour have avalanche potential, especially the descent from the San Gian summit to St. Moritz. This tour is for skiers with good riding technique.

Piz Palü 3882 m
Diavolezza Berghaus Bernina Alps Switzerland
- Length of ascent6,5 km
- ascent1180 m
- duration6,5-8,5 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦◊

The Piz Palü with its characteristic three pillars is probably the most popular "not 4000" in the Alps. The exit from the Berghaus Diavolezza is ideal, it is also possible from the Bovalhütte. The key point for the ascent and descent is the passage of the Labyrinth between the Seraks. Continue over a relatively steep glacier to the ski depot. Then ascent with ice axe and crampons along the exposed summit ridge. The usual goal of ski mountaineers is the eastern summit - 3882 m.
