Disentis

Disentis is a true Eldorado for ski tour fans. The possibilities are almost limitless: Freeriding in the ski area, leisurely tours with railway assistance or exciting routes towards the Lukmanier Pass - often with fantastic turns in the south, while it is cloudy to the north or around Andermatt. Whether it's fresh snow, sunshine or changeable weather. We always find the right tour here. Even if Disentis is overshadowed by well-known names such as Andermatt, Engelberg or Davos, this is completely unjustified: impressive descents, playful terrain and a huge variety of options await. From the Oberalpstock to long descents into the Maderanertal and leisurely tours from the Oberalp Pass. Every ski tourer's heart beats faster here.

Once you've been here, you're guaranteed to come back.
