Details

Description

Either get off to the right directly at the mountain station or cross the lift line further down (as early as possible) and traverse westward. 

Hidden Gem

At the summit of 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.


Caution! In the upper, rather treeless section there are some cliffs on the left, danger of falling!



  • In case of doubt, never trust existing tracks; they are no guarantee of avalanche safety.

  • Check the avalanche transceiver (LVS) before every ascent / descent.

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

  • Be aware of possible weather changes.

  • Never ride alone! Watch out for each other and be ready to react!

  • Observe wildlife protection zones!

Directions

Either get off to the right directly at the mountain station or cross the lift line further down (as early as possible) and traverse westward. 
At the foot of the slope you reach the cross-country ski track. Follow this to the pony lift (extra cost, 17.- CHF per day) and return to the ski area by lift or on foot.
