Snow condition

As the Pfänder is only 1062 meters high anyway, it should be clear that you can't expect masses of snow. However, there is definitely enough snow to tour from Bregenz to the Pfänderspitze. And there is still plenty of powder to dust off, as the Pfänder is not yet overcrowded.

Snow quality

3 von 5 Sterne

Above around 500 meters, the snow is still nice and fluffy and simply fantastic. Below that, it is not hard or slushy, but a little firmer.

Risks

On the Pfänder? I haven't seen a slope where it would be critical. Maybe directly under the transmission mast, but I wasn't there.

Overall impression

4 von 5 Sterne

A great "toboggan tour", which will be converted into an evening ski tour over the next few days. For those who don't dare, I can only recommend giving it a try, you'll be at the top in no time with a stunningly beautiful forest ascent. You won't find much "blatant" powder, but the tour is always beautiful. (Unfortunately, my cell phone always went off during the landscape shots due to the cold)

Note on Conditions Reports

The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.

Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!
