Tips
Valluga
On Valluga Mountain (2,809m) you can delight in iconic descents on perfect powder snow. The route to Zürs is certainly legendary. But beware: it is only for those who have experience of the terrain and those who travel with a guide.
Rendl
There are some quieter freestyle spots to revel in freeriding on the south side of the Rendl area, such as the area around the Rendl northern slopes and the “Rendl Wild Face”. The “Rendl North Face” has an exciting terrain with adventurous routes that usually remain untouched for longer when there is fresh snowfall.
Schindlergrat
Here you will find various, mostly challenging trails, such as the Schindlerkar run and the runs towards Mattun, which are often covered in fresh powder snow. The terrain is both steep and rocky, and creates a real sense of adventure for experienced freeriders.
