Beat, Luzi and myself took advantage of the suprisingly nice weather to tackle this classic tour with twice 1 hour uphill and 2000 meters downhill. Together with two locals we were the first skiers on the tour after the snow fall the last 2 days. Thus there was plenty of virgin powder to enjoy.

Please note that the “usual” route (below) is different from the offical ski routes found on the Swiss Maps (here).

Best route: Pischa Top Station (2482m) – head Northwest to point 2460m – ski down towards East to about 2330m (steep!) – skin up  Northeast to alp hut at point 2708m – ski down to Novaier Tälli (take a route that starts close to point 2719m which is safer) – skin up heading Northwest to point 2471m (or 2478m East of it) – ski down Gatschiefer Tälli heading North (i.e. on the East side of the valley) – ski down through for the steep terrain with trees/forest (best wy not so easy to find).
