Bishorn with skis

🗓 Day 1: Zinal → Tracuit Hut • Start altitude: ~1,670 m • Hut altitude: 3,256 m • Elevation gain: +1,600 m • Time: 5–7 hours (depending on conditions and pace) Long but steady day. Forest start, then open terrain climbing toward the Tracuit plateau. Usually done on skis all the way in spring. Physically consistent, no major technical difficulties — just a solid vertical day. ⸻ 🗓 Day 2: Tracuit Hut → Bishorn Summit → Zinal • Summit altitude: 4,153 m • Elevation gain: +900 m (from hut) • Descent: -2,500 m total (to Zinal) • Time: • Hut → Summit: 3–4 hours • Summit → Zinal: 3–4 hours • Total day: 6–8 hours Glacier travel from the hut, gentle but sustained slope to the summit plateau. The final section slightly steeper but straightforward in good conditions. Then a long, aesthetic glacier descent — one of the great ski runs of the Valais. 1400€ per group of max 4 people.
