With so much fresh snow, we have to unpack our touring skis again on Friday before the wind and warmth arrive and go on a great ski tour together. Thanks to the small cable car, we start high up and can undertake a beautiful, varied ski tour on the Gemsfairen. A magnificent view of the Tödi and the Clariden massif awaits us at the summit. The descent back to Urnerboden is rewarding and leads through great skiing terrain. Let's make the most of the chance of good snow and great weather! We go on a ski tour with an ascent of around 1000 metres and a descent of 1700 metres.
