Andermatt / Gotthard on 03.01.2024 | benji_01

Snow condition

The snow conditions are quite good overall. All stones and similar obstacles are covered. However, the strong wind has exposed some of the ridges.

Snow quality

The snow quality is very changeable. From fresh snow, which was easy to ski on, to hard, piste-like conditions and firn, everything was there today.

The main danger at higher altitudes is currently drifting snow. These packs can be large due to the strong winds in combination with fresh snow, but fortunately the good weather makes them easier to recognize.

Overall impression

Naja, nicht viel erwartet was die Schneequalität angeht, aber mit einem kurzen schönen Hang belohnt worden. Natürlich lässt sich streiten, ob sich dafür die 1.100 hm Aufstiegsmühen lohnen, aber für die Ausblicke und das kennenlernen des Tourengeländes natürlich cool. Dazu perfekter Sonnentage und wenig los, was will man mehr?
