Ride the elephant - or the somewhat different withdrawal therapy
Central Switzerland

Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Start at 2300m on a bare glacier so actually 0 stars. From 2600m then with snow cover. But this is actually only a nuisance.
Snow quality
Blank ice with sand and stone inlays and frozen summer snow. No firn or slush, everything optimal: - 0 stars
Risks
No activities
Overall impression
I always do this in June. Wait until the Furka Pass opens. Then wait until the crowds have died down, the glacier is clear and you're on your own. Book an old room at the Belvedere and hope that it doesn't stupidly snow again the day before you arrive, otherwise the therapy won't work. Then tackle the Damma/Diefen/Galen or all the poles and don't carry your skis on the glacier as you can see in the pictures. The man really hasn't understood anything. That reduces the overall success of the therapy. So ski over all the elephant junk. If that's not enough, get stuck somewhere and then tear your elbows, palms and clothes, then you won't want to ski again for a while. It works. Winter sucks, finally no more skiing!!! So see you in November...CU

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!
