Gargellen

For over 50 years, the Madrisa round tour has been the epitome of the lift-assisted freeride tour par excellence. From Austria to Switzerland and back or, as in our case, from Switzerland to Austria and back. After it was first published as a 'bold adventure' on PowderGuide.com in 1972, here it is finally as the current and modern freeride tour of the week.

Have you ever got cold teeth from the permanent grin? If not, or if you feel the need again, put on your skins and head up to the Heimspitze. This northern descent from the Heimspitze into the Valisera Valley offers pure freeriding pleasure. At around 700 meters in altitude, the ascent is easy to manage, even with heavy equipment.
