Freetouring Laucherenalp

Little ascent, fresh snow and long descents!

Technics

Endurance

From Thursday afternoon to Friday there will be another 20cm of fresh snow and the sun will be shining in Valais from midday. Perfect for gaining a lot of altitude with a cosy start thanks to the cable cars and opening the new year with powder and sunshine with jubilant and beautiful skiing. We make a first powder run away from the ski area and then climb with our skins to one of the surrounding peaks, probably the Elewertätsch, to then enjoy another really long and sunny run. There are some really great descents in this area and thanks to the lifts, we manage a 500-700 metre ascent on a descent of over 2000 metres!
