This day offers everything that makes a classic ski tour: an impressive summit experience and a beautiful long descent. We start from the hut over the gentle Turtmann Glacier and cross the wide, glistening plateau to the east. The view of the surrounding four-thousand-metre peaks and the impressive glacier world opens up with every metre of altitude. The ascent leads through varied terrain, from gentle passages to steeper sections.
The summit area is often blown off and icy. In this case, we switch to crampons and climb the last few metres to the summit of the Bishorn on foot. A breathtaking panorama of the Valais Alps awaits us at the top. An inspiring moment.
The descent initially begins along the ascent route before we glide over the Col de Tracuit into the wide basin of the Torrent du Barmé. After a short ascent, the crowning finale follows: a long, enjoyable descent through forests and along narrow paths down into the valley. Finally, we follow the Navisence river to Zinal, where we round off the tour with a well-earned drink, full of memories of three days of high alpine ski touring adventures.
