Stierfall - Lech / Zurs Map

Start the Stierfall by going left at the big Weisse Ring sign. The first part is the most tricky part, because of the short couloir you have to go through. Thereafter you ski the narrow part of the run, where there are good snowconditions all year around due to the shades of the mountain. The last part is the most beautiful part of the run, because the mountain opens up and you can pick your own line by skiing straight down or by traversing to the right. When you have reached the Stierlochbach, follow the path until you reach the Zugerberg chairlift. Make sure you have good avalanche equipment, when performing this run!
