Oberalpstock ski tour | Crossing from Disentis into the Maderanertal valley
Gentle glaciers and mighty, north-facing descents!
Perfect conditions in the mountains! Sunshine and powder snow on the north side. Together we undertake one of the most beautiful ski tours: the crossing from Disentis over the Oberalpstock into the Maderanertal in the canton of Uri! Here we take the cable cars from Disentis up to 3000 metres. After a short ascent, we head up the Brunnifirn and leave civilisation behind. The second ascent is a short 500 metres up to the Oberalpstock. Here we enjoy the view of the Tödi, the Uri Alps and as far as the Valais, before a very long and varied descent begins. We head northwards over the Staldenfirn with a great gradient into the Maderanertal. The slopes are very wide and there is plenty of room to ski. With an ascent of only 700 metres, we will ski down a total of 2300 metres - together we will have a fantastic experience!
