Ski Touring Difficult
From the top of Gemsstock you ski south, about 35 degrees for a few turns. Then you'll reach a flat part, and again a part that's 35 degrees, this time a bit longer and more crossing. When you arrive under a little pass on your right (west) which is about 100 metres higher, start to walk. There are often tracks for skins and for foot-steps. At the top (Gafallenlücke) you continue on your left and head to the top of the peak just in front of you (Rothorn remains on your left). From the top you ski down on your left (south-east). It is between 35 and 40 degrees for the first 150 metres, keeping on your left to avoid the steepest terrain. Then keep east and you will finish in a gully, which is not steeper than 35 degrees. At its end you reach the slope of "Unteralpta"l at the beginning of the long, flat gully. Then Vermigel cabana and Andermatt (look Freeride for "unteralptal").
