Wait for a good snowfall and then show everyone your skills; this is a perfect off-piste run for creative riders. Ride down with smooth turns between the cliffs and rocks, or use some natural take offs or cliffs for airtime. Just make sure it is the middle of the season and that there is a big enough layer of snow. If there isn't enough snow it is not that much fun for your gear. Drop in at top of Stabelbahn for this line. Follow the chair down. Pass pylon number two on the left side and keep following the chair, but stay on the left side and it will lead you towards a short couloir. These first steps are the most important ones; if you stay on the right side of the chair, a big cliff will make it impossible to ride down the described line. After the couloir, the face is open. There are some trees, bumps and bigger rocks and for riders who prefer an interesting terrain, this off-piste is more interesting than just a big white field of snow. The best thing is this run doesn't get boring that quickly (only if it is tracked) and your friends will tell you again and again: "let´s take go down once more" On a day with snowfall or bad visibility, this run is the best choice. Because it is one of the view ones with some trees and other contours, which will help you to see something. Getting lost in this line is nearly impossible. The further left you go after the couloir, the easier it is to get back to the slope. Depending on your direction you will end up before or after the checkpoint of the glacier road. After reaching the road, slope number 30 is visible and easy to reach.
