Spontaneous tour | Powder in sight!
Winter is back and the clearing on Friday brings us a beautiful powder day.
Technics
Endurance
At last, winter and the snow are on the way! We use Friday, with its morning clearings, for beautiful powder turns and go on an enjoyable ski tour with lift support and an ascent of 800 - 1000 metres in altitude. We get at least as many metres of descent, if not more :). The Bernese Oberland region offers us a wide range of options and our local mountain guide will take you wherever the conditions and avalanche situation allow for the best tour. We will decide on Thursday where to go. Possible destinations: Engstligenalp, Kandersteg or Adelboden. We start the day early to get the best light conditions and meet at Spiez railway station, from where we travel together in carpools to the starting point. Return from the tour is around 3 pm.
Procedure and meeting place
We will meet at Spiez railway station, from where we will travel together in carpools. Please let us know if you are travelling by car. The mountain guide and the travelling participants are happy to receive a small fare on site for the service.
Numerous options await us for this day. We decide on Thursday what the best choice is. A great day in the fresh snow awaits us.
We finish the tour together at Spiez railway station.
