The impressive ski route to the 2240 m high Rauhorn proves to be a real insider tip in the Tannheimer Tal. Usually, you are one of the few who make their solitary turns at the foot of the Rauhorn. However, a summit success requires nerves of steel and alpine experience. The subsequent descent in untouched deep snow makes up for every drop of sweat and the possible summit failure.

die ehemalige Piste war durch Skitourengänger so verfestigt, dass immer noch Schnee durchgängig bis ins Tal lag. Ohne Liftbetrieb ist die Tour natürlich noch schöner!
