"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

Normal routeEasy route with excellent view toward all the 4000m peaks of Wallis. Climbed it to acclimatize.

Usual routeFrom old Tracuit hut across Turtmann glacier, mostly on snow, no crevasses. Great view of Weisshorn.

Bishorn normal routeNo rope was needed. Glacier was completely covered by snow apart from a few crevasses just a few hundred m from the hut - one could cross on dry ice though.
Some scrambling (3-5m) just below the summit but no danger of dangerous fall either.
