Description

After the top steeper section of the Schneehuhn piste, take the left hand turn on the flat and continue straight, traversing onto the ridge of the mountain.

The slope then drops away to the left onto a steeper open face.

This face has good snow, rolling down a convex slope, until it flattens out and bends round to the right at the bottom.

There is a small traverse before the next section which is a steeper pitch, with a great choice of lines.

You turn another corner now, and get a few deep breaths before hitting the next pitch.

This pitch starts to feature a few small trees as you head down towards the Tuftern run and there is a choice of gullies and small ridges to explore on the bottom of this open face, before you reconnect with the piste.
