Poster: A snowHead
|
Morning all
We have flights/carhire to Zurich booked for 3rd march
8 day ski window
land saturday night
Sunday free to ski somewhere?
mon-fri in Andermatt
sat & sunday free
any ideas on somewhere warming up for the day on the way to A'mat with some decent off piste?
Final weekend. Possibly Engelberg but might have visited during the week anyway. and only worth it if recent snowfall...?
needs to be nearish zurich as 8.30pm flight home on the sunday night.
I notice the road pass east from A'matt is closed winter so disentis might be better visited on the train as a day trip from A'matt.
Any ideas much appreciated.

my recollection is that you don't go past an awful lot of skiing on the most direct route to Andermatt from ZRH. guess it's really a question of how much of a detour you want to do.
i'd take a look at Buster Highmen's TR on TGR of his recent trip to the area - to get some ideas. Disentis certainly looks worthy. You might want to PM him about super-secret lifts. If you tell him you know me, he might be forthcoming
I've done some nice touring round Realp/Tiefencastle and some of the classic lines of the Gemstock but have only scratched the surface
Engelberg and Andermatt can be a bit of a gong show at weekends BTW. Big crowds come up from Zurich

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Arno, we have got Dan Loutrel of Birdos guiding us out of A'matt - so should hopefully know all the secret spots down there....
as you say weekend gong show at Eberg. I did do a weekend there many years ago, maybe 2000! can't remember but it was ace - remember doing the Laub in great conditons - but was a relative gaper in those days
if we get good snow in the week - then maybe best to hit it from A'matt on a day trip
somewhere like St Moritz or Arosa for the final weekend to avoid the freeride weekend crowds?

Arno, sweet thanks.
yes St Moritz is a long journey.
Disentis certainly looks interesting

You can get the car train tunnel and be in the Wallis fairly quickly from andermat, so Saas Fee is an option
