Influence from the south, fresh new snow and already underfoot

Technics

Endurance

It's snowing again this weekend, it's getting colder and the ski touring season is calling! The Oberalp Pass already has a good base and thanks to the southerly influence we're expecting pretty good weather on Sunday. There is also a good amount of fresh snow here and thanks to the railway we can start up! Cool ski tour destinations are waiting for us. We will choose the best option on site and will certainly spend a cool day together in the snow!
