Program: 'The Strahlhorn, 4,190 meters, never seems to come any closer. The approach is long, but it's worth the effort. From the summit, you will ski down to the Adler Pass. This run down over the Adler and Findelen glaciers guarantees plenty of thrills. You will then climb up to the Stockhorn Pass and ski down over the Gorner Glacier until you come to a small counter ascent to the Monte Rosa Hut at the end. (Distance: 9 km. Hiking time: 5.5 hours; Ascent: 1,800 vertical meters). (https://www.mammutalpineschool.com/en/skihochtour-dufourspitze-4634-m/?cache-refresh=1).
