Florian skiing downhill in powder

The white splendour is here and in large quantities. The danger of avalanches will quickly calm down with the glorious weather and so we can aim for new peaks and slopes from day to day. We are monitoring the situation and will refine the plan in advance to find the greatest denominator between solitary and powdery, but also to be safe on the way.

Saturday, 28.12: Ski tour from Oberalp Pass

Another magnificent tour awaits us in this region. From the Oberalp Pass we climb around 800 metres to reach untouched terrain. The slopes drop away to the north and we can really enjoy the snow! With a short counter ascent we reach more slopes and can ski a total of 1300 metres. We finish in Tschamut, from where we take the railway back.

Meeting point: 9.15 Andermatt railway station or 9.40 Oberalp Pass. Finish approx. 15.00

Between Christmas and New Year we will certainly be offering some spontaneous tours. Jonas is based in Andermatt and will be offering day tours in the greater Andermatt area (Uri, Obergoms, Oberalp Pass and from the ski area) during these days. If you would like to take part in all the days, all the better, then you can book your own accommodation in or around Andermatt. We will spontaneously select the best destinations and undertake downhill-orientated ski tours!

Lonely ski tours, powder freeriding, ski technique and freetouring are waiting for us!
