This ski tour in the heart of the Verwall offers stunning views from the Arlberg to the Bernina group in varied ski terrain. With the right timing, you will be rewarded with descents in good firn and fine powder snow.

The descent from the Zamangspitze is aggressively advertised and marketed today, but it is still a highlight in the Montafon.

The snowless winter of 2013/14 in the northern Alps and the constant reports of Adriatic lows - with their almost unbelievable amounts of snow - drew our attention to Carinthia. And because Mother Hulda was particularly kind to us, there was another half a meter on top 48 hours before our arrival - snow depths of around 4 m awaited us at Nassfeld!

Is the K2 Annex 118 Pro Model: a "one ski fits all?". For me, the ski is a successful all-round talent: with a balanced balance of torsional stiffness and forgiving character.

The Black Diamond Expedition Ski Poles are first-class all-round poles. These telescopic poles made of aluminum combine functionality, robustness and weight in a balanced way. An all-round talent for any backcountry adventure.

Ischgl at the beginning of March, the last snowfall was almost three weeks ago and a foehn storm is forecast for the coming days. So we use the remaining foehn-free day to go on an extensive ski tour through the Ischgl backcountry.

The Paznaun offers everything a winter sports enthusiast's heart desires. Every ability level will find the perfect terrain to ride here; for ski tourers, off-piste skiers or freeriders.

Airbags for ski touring: opinions differ. Thanks to lightweight construction and touring optimization, the compromises are perhaps no longer quite so great: the Snowpulse Lite 35 in the test.

The Arc'teryx Sabre Full Bib is a lightly lined bib pant for all-round freeride use and has proven itself in the test.

The Mammut Freeride line has long impressed with its functional 3-layer Gore-Tex Soft Shell clothing. The Alagna pants are no exception

The outdoor watch is many a mountain enthusiast's favorite handbag among men's accessories. Tech4o shows that it doesn't always have to be Suunto or Polar.

The Stockhorn is quite easy to reach via a ridge. After a short ascent, the summit is quickly reached. Once at the top, the view of the glaciated landscape will amaze you. The entire Monte Rosa massif is within easy reach, but the view of the Matterhorn and Gorner glacier is also impressive. Depending on the conditions, you can ski down moderately steep or steeper terrain. Caution! The crevasses on the Trifji Glacier are a serious danger on this variant.
