    Ascent of the Finsteraarhorn and overnight stay in the same hut. The ascent leads over a short passage along large glaciers up to the Hugisattel. Here we deposit our skis and scramble over the summit ridge, secured by the mountain guide, to reach the imposing summit. The descent leads down the wide slopes. There are several variations here. We love this ski tour, there are so many cool, unknown downhill variants. We spend another cosy night in the Finsteraarhorn hut.

    Crossing the Galmihorn and descent into Goms. This tour is another highlight. The ascent leads past large glaciers up to the summit. During the ascent you experience a magnificent sunrise from the profile of the Finsteraarhorn. The descent from the Galmihorn leads over large slopes down to Goms, where spring has already arrived in all its splendour. We cover the last few metres on foot, walking leisurely through the fragrant forests and green meadows.
