Description

First 200-300 meters on the ski slope to the northeast and then leave it on the left over the first lightly, then densely wooded slope. Through the forest, you reach the slope again lower down.

Hidden Gem

At the summit of the Äla there is a webcam - in case you want to know what the weather is like up there...

Safety Note

Riding on unmarked slopes is at your own risk.



  • If in doubt, never trust already existing tracks; they are no guarantee of avalanche safety.

  • Check the avalanche transceiver (LVS) before each descent.

  • Carry a backpack with a snow shovel, avalanche probe, and first aid kit. 

  • Be aware of possible weather changes.

  • Never "ride" alone! Always watch each other and be ready to respond!

Directions

There are different steep versions, which also vary in the density of the forest.
