Schareck

The third article in the Anno dazumal series takes us to the Hohe Tauern at the beginning of the 20th century. Hans Skofizh and Franz Tursky report on tours to the Schareck, Hohe Riffl and Granatspitze in the article "Snowshoeing in the Hohe Tauern" from 1913. These descents were probably some of the first ski descents in the Hohe Tauern.

Christmas falls on December 24th every year. An area of high pressure seems to be spreading over the Alps with a similarly somnambulistic certainty. The difference to previous years: the white base is extremely clear. This makes snow sports activities on the mountain even more exciting. Despite poor snow conditions and adverse umbrella bar conditions, with a little motivation and creativity, even this adverse period can be overcome.
