Freeriding on the Laucherenalp in the Lötschental

Laucherenalp-Leukerbad

Together we head into the Lötschental and enjoy unforgettable ski tours around the idyllically situated Lötschenpasshütte. Thanks to the Lauchernalp mountain railway, we start comfortably at altitude and use the first stage for rewarding descents from the ski area. From the hut, we embark on a variety of tours in the impressive mountain world - be it in the form of circular tours or summit destinations such as the Ferdenrothorn or the Mauerhorn. The region offers many opportunities for enjoyable descents with comparatively little ascent. Together we will experience impressive days of skiing and start the new year with vigour!
