Downhill orientated ski tour in Glarnerland | Sunnehöreli

Varied ascent, great summit ascent and long, north-facing descent!

Technics

Endurance

There has been fresh snow again, and next week we can expect fantastic weather! On the north side, the snow remains powdery for a long time, providing perfect conditions for an impressive traverse with a long, north-facing descent. Thanks to the mountain railway, we can start high enough, complete an ascent of around 1000 metres, enjoy the summit and the peace and quiet during the week before tackling the long, north-facing descent. We will probably walk the last few metres to Engi - but after such a descent, we don't mind at all.
