Freetouring from Flims-Laax to Elm

Untracked powder slopes in a unique setting.

To the dates and registration

A unique freetouring tour. For pleasure skiers and mountain enthusiasts, little ascent and lots of descent.

We arrive by public transport and take the first gondola. Almost at the top of the ski area, we travel into a remote valley. The atmosphere is immediately different, steep rock faces and wild valleys impress us. After the first enjoyable descent, we climb back up and return to the ski area. We take the T-bar lift up to the Vorab. This is where the actual descent towards Elm begins. We deviate from the route in places and take some rewarding variants. Powder, couloirs and much more offer unique experiences. We combine two ascents and, thanks to the lifts, we manage around 500 metres of ascent and 2500 metres of descent, some of which is in very good skiing terrain!
