The 4000 of the Valais

The Swiss Valais, with more than half of 4000 peaks, is the backbone of the Alps; from Saas-Fee to Zermatt, i propose you to climb 5 of them. Some good elevation changes by the climbing perspective (1700m until Signalkuppe for the last day), but with the unforgetable descent.
