This is a lovely traverse of a threethousander with only a short ascent. Thanks to the aerial cableway from Crans-Montana to Pointe de la Plaine Morte the tour begins with a 150 m descent, then follows a cross-country-like traverse of Plaine Morte to finish with a 500 m summit slope to the Lenk summit of the Wildstrubel range. You can ski down to the Crans-Montana skiing area (with a re-ascent), but it is more interesting to ski down to Lämmerenhütte, if the conditions are good. Other ascents go to Lenk or Engstligenalp.
