The high peaks of the Western Alps are not only a rewarding goal in summer. Many of the four-thousanders are actually ideal ski peaks and far more enjoyable to climb on touring skis. This spares you the often endless slog across the vast glaciers, especially on the way down. Magical light on the ascent makes up for the early start, and the panoramic views from the deep-snow-covered four-thousanders across the surrounding peaks are breathtaking. An unforgettable experience for anyone who loves ski mountaineering.
