    Cross-border ski tour with a magnificent panorama of the surrounding mountain world!

    Small ski touring round around Madrisa with great views and many variations. Especially the long descent through Gandatal into Valzifenz is a true highlight for deep snow enthusiasts.

    The professionals of the Montafon mountain guides recommend a solid basic training, avalanche and risk management. We recommend you do the guided ski tours with our Montafon mountain guides. You can find the program for the tours at www.montafon.at/skitouren

  • Directions

    Ascent with the Schafberg railway to the Schafberg Hüsli. Then a short descent and another ascent with the 4-seater chairlift Gargellner Köpfe. Then descent to the storage lake and from there southwest steeply to the Gafierjoch at the end. Crossing west of Oswaldkopf to Madrisajoch, then descent into Ganda and Valizifenz valley back to Gargellen.

    Especially when crossing from Gafierjoch to Madrisajoch as well as on the descent into Gandatal there are several critical points that must be carefully assessed and evaluated.
