Bishorn 4151 m Ski tour

Close to the mighty Weisshorn and located in the same range is Bishorn. While Weisshorn is only accessible for experienced mountaineers, the itinerary to Bishorn from Cabane de Tracuit is mainly on a gentle and easy glacier. The view from the summit to Weisshorn and its E face is impressive.
