Moos 43 Map

On track 42, just before you hit the bottom station of the Riffelberg bubble to take you back to Furi, there is a right hand turn onto a track towards the Alm restaurant. Follow this and take the piste sign to the left after the restaurant (rather than the road. The track stays relatively narrow and drops away down into the forest. There is a right hand turn, followed by another left hander onto another track, leading you down further into the forest on this little rollercoaster. This track winds around to the left and then to the right, dropping away a little more steeply, before flattening out and passing some farming buildings. You pass these and then hit the road which comes down from the right. Continue straight on briefly before dropping off the road again to the right, across a field, past more farming buildings and down into the trees again on a short pretty steep section. This tends to bump up, so pick your line, and then let your skis run at the bottom out into the open and round to the right. There is a last rolling section, where all lines are good. Then you ski around to the left to rejoin the Blatten (50) piste after the Hennu Stall, just as the piste hits the river.
