Berchtesgaden Alps on 20.03.2022 | bergjunge

Snow condition

Less than average. But I still get the second star because there's still plenty of snow in protected gullies and cirques. It's also amazing how far down tw in the shade there are still icy tracks. A bike is advisable wherever possible.

Snow quality

Spring conditions. Where the sun was already shining on the east side, it was okay, but everything else was unfortunately still quite hard on the descent at 11 am. The dry and cool air made for late varnishing. The heavily tracked conditions make for a rough downhill experience where it's still hard.

Very compact and hard where there is no sun. Certainly problematic from the second half of the day in very sunny areas.

Overall impression

Regeration tour in very nice weather. There are still some good options, but the high classics are incredibly busy. On the other hand, you have peace and quiet on the medium tours. However, good snow is rare.
