Heimspitze

Every year we go to the Montafon - and not without reason... For more than five years now, I've been drawn out of Tyrol, over the Arlberg and into the Montafon every season. The Silvretta Montafon in particular has become very dear to my heart and promises an impressive visit every year and exciting, satisfying images for our filmmakers and photographers.

After two World Tour stops in Andorra, the FWT riders are gradually arriving in the Eastern Alps and are taking part in the 3* FWQ in Montafon, for example, or are watching or familiarizing themselves with the local snow conditions in Fieberbrunn. We are all hoping for snow and that a safe contest can be held in Fieberbrunn or perhaps somewhere else.

Perfect conditions at the home peak for the first Austrian Freeride World Qualifier event in 2016! After numerous cancellations or postponements in this year's "Austrian Freeride Series" due to poor snow conditions or high avalanche danger, it was now time to start the freeride contest season in beautiful Austria under sunshine and powder snow! And the riders were really happy to find great conditions and were delighted with the perfectly organized contest.

Perfect snow conditions and blue skies made this year's FWQ 3* event in the Silvretta Montafon one of the highlights of the season.

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.
