THE BIG 5
Whether it's the infamous Laub, the challenging Sulz, the mighty Steinberg, the hidden Steintäli or the challenging descent from the Galtiberg - the BIG 5 belong on your freeride bucket list!
You can reach all five downhill runs without having to unbuckle or run the skis just once. This is freeride pleasure to the power of 5, but please note that you are moving in unsecured and high alpine terrain. We therefore recommend that you book a qualified mountain guide who will guide you safely through the terrain and also find the best powder for you - even days after the last snowfall.
Safety first: Check your safety equipment (avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe, airbag backpack) before every freeride day and inform yourself carefully about the current avalanche and weather conditions.

Little, medium and big "Sulz". Offer a wide range of playful skiing. From the "Jochstock-Express" top station, all the runs invite with wide slopes, different variations, and steep and interesting couloirs. The small "Sulz" is suited as warm-up run.
