Take the Madloch Chairlift and leave lookers sharp left over to the Zuers side immediately turning skiers left. Stay as high as possible traversing left under the Madlochspitze. There is often a track, unless you are right after a dump. Stay high, this is the easiest way into the bowl. Keep traversing until you reach a first distinct ridge with a couloir below you. The couloir is skiable, but depending on conditions especially early in the season sometimes requires navigating rocks. If you keep traversing over the near next ridge you see the bowl opening up. From here just route finding is obvious. There is an abundance of space, lots of features, including bushes to play with in the lower section. The run spits you out at the road. After crossing the creek (there is a bridge) skate left along the gallery.

Description

Once that ends, there is a short uphill, and you stand right at the bus stop. Interestingly, our Fuchsloch route: https://fatmap.com/routeid/2755689/fuchsloch?fmid=cp ends right opposite of the road.

Variations: The run has plenty of options, especially in the upper section, yet navigating a rock-band if you don't stay high traversing.

Another easy way in starts at Zuers See, but you miss some of the nice parts of the upper section.
