Fresh snow and the best weather combined with a very special tour await us on Saturday. We abseil down and ski through a cool hole! We start high up from the Madrisa ski area. Climb up to the first summit and make a first descent to reach an impressive slip with a rock hole. We abseil down to the hole and ski through the hole from there! This variation takes us to cool, open, north-facing slopes. There must be some nice snow here! If the mood takes us, we climb up a second time to ski down a few more beautiful slopes to St. Antönien.
