An enjoyable ski tour in wintry conditions in the home region of our mountain guide Julian around Malbun, Buchserberg. Together we use the wind-protected slopes and varied terrain to get the most out of the current conditions. The focus is on an enjoyable ascent of 800 - 1000 metres and as many beautiful turns as possible in fresh powder with just as many vertical metres downhill. A tour for all those who want to really feel the winter again and live out their playful lightness in beautiful powder turns. Depending on the snow and avalanche situation, we choose our route flexibly and adapt the day optimally to the conditions.
