Route description:
You start at the valley station of the glacier shuttle. There is now a wide field in front of you and there are no limits to freeriders. At first it is a little steeper over extensive slopes, which invite you to do big mountain turns, and finally it turns into more moderate slopes. Shortly before the finish point, it gets steeper again. Skiers Right, after a short traversing passage, there are several possibilities to drop small and medium-sized rocks before you reach slope No. 2 after a last steep section. Speed is now required here to get to the valley station of the Sonnenkarbahnen.
