Jungfrau Region

White Hare is THE classic in Grindelwald. And the snow in the shadow of the north face of the Eiger promises powder fun until April. Even days after the last snowfall, the wide slope is still not completely covered because you can't get there without a 10 to 20-minute ascent. You can read how the route got its name in the book with the best freeride runs in the Jungfrau Region...

Ascend 400 meters in altitude to descend over 2000 meters. And this in the midst of a breathtaking mountain panorama. From the Faulhorn, you have a magnificent view of the Bernese 4000-metre peaks and, in contrast, you can also see Lake Brienz and Lake Thun, 2000 meters below. Due to its southern exposure, this tour is often only recommended in high winter and when there is good snow cover.

The insider tip par excellence for a long freeride descent over 1800 vertical meters, ideal in March as a final descent after a great freeride day on the Schilthorn. Every time, you will be amazed at how little snow there is and how powdery the snow still is here on the steep north-facing slopes in spring. And this even after three-week dry spells. The wild Sous Valley also has a lot to offer in terms of scenery. Below you will find the tour description in the form of an excerpt from the new book "Freeride Guide Jungfrau Region" published this winter

As there was also a lot of new snow in the Jungfrau region around Easter and there was a considerable risk of avalanches, we decided to assess the situation "on site" in the morning. As the steepest section of the tour starts right at the hut, the situation could be assessed relatively well during the first 200 meters of altitude. It soon became clear that Hans was right in his assessment: "It's probably more of a summer ascent, as the storm after Easter blew all the snow down into the valley. It has to be somewhere!".
