Skitour to Drosbüel, P.2002
Pictures taken by Marcel on December 15th, 2007

skitour isn't very well known, but it's very beautiful. It starts at the
hamlet of Schuders. |
| Very nice scenery, just above the village. The view goes to Muttner Egg, also a great ski descent. |
| Betty climbing. Quite heavy
and inconvenient that board on the back - I tested it later ;-) |
|
View to Drusenfluh (2830m), with the prominent Schweizerpfeiler, a classic 6a+ climbing route. |
|
Veeeery nice powder snow - again Betty climbing among the shacks above Schuders. |
|
And they make for nice rests, too. "Clima perfetto", the thermometer on the wall showed 15 degrees Celsius :-) |
|
Laying the first trace is, though strenuous, always a great pleasure. This is Kathrin following. |
|
After 500m of elevation gain, we reached the hamlet of Maiensäss. |
|
Kathrin arriving. Despite it was -7 degrees Celsius at the start, it was warm enough to go in a shirt only. |
|
The skitouring giant... and the snow surface is awesome - like velvet! |
|
Betty following the wide ridge which leads from Maiensäss to Drosbüel. |
|
Kathrin and Betty following, while I'm already on the summit. |
|
The girls on top, ready for departure. By the way, I found the descent was absolutely fantastic :-). Behind is the wide wall of Drusenfluh, where we had climbed Konflikt, still in summerly conditions, only 6 weeks before. I'm so glad that Switzerland offers perfect adventures in every season! |
