After a long time, fresh snow returns on Thursday and the sun comes out on Friday - so let's go on a great round tour together in the Schächental! Lonely terrain with a really impressive flair awaits us here, as the north face of Gross Ruchen towers up at the end of the valley. So we can undertake an impressive round tour in great skiing terrain. We climb around 1000 - 1200 metres and look for great slopes. We climb up in the sun and ski down the shady slopes! The descent takes us through magnificent skiing terrain and twice through a small gully. The second of these is a little steeper, but you are well coached and looked after by the mountain guide! Reto loves this area, because at the start you pass the ice pillars of the Brunnital, the ascent is varied and the descent is really great!
