    St. Anönien is at a high altitude and is already snow-sure at this time of year. From the car park, we can immediately set off on our first leisurely ski tour together. We take our time to look at and discuss everything we need for a successful start to ski touring.
    As always, we are out and about with our eyes wide open, looking for the best snow and looking forward to a beautiful descent. In the evening, we enjoy being together in the cosy lounge and look forward to another ski tour!
