Snow condition

Still good as far as sheltered high altitudes are concerned. The glaciers are still covered in snow. But there are very long paths everywhere. After cycling through the kilometer-long valleys, you usually still have to carry a lot.

Snow quality

The few centimetres of fresh snow lie on a hard layer on the sunny side at high altitudes and are soon moistened. But it skis quite well, relatively quickly. It doesn't warm up so quickly in the shade, but there's a brittle crust underneath, which wasn't so great. Wind exposed and still quite hard in places. Good summer snow at the bottom, still a bit rough in places.

A few loose snow slides from today and yesterday could be seen, but mostly smaller ones.

Overall impression

Solo day mission in a lonely corner in the Venediger group with a long, snow-free approach/ride. But there is still quite a bit of snow in the high altitudes, it looks incredibly beautiful. :) You can find both good and rather modest snow quality. The next few days should be similar, from the middle of next week a change in the weather is forecast with some snowfall in the high altitudes.
