Central Switzerland Ski Touring Guide

<p>The mountains of Central Switzerland have always been one of the preferred ski touring regions - not only for Lucerne and Zurich residents, but far beyond the borders of Switzerland. Snow-sure winter destinations around Andermatt, exotic descents high above Lake Lucerne, comfy ski hikes in Obwalden, sweeping landscapes in the Schwyz Prealps, steep powder snow descents in the Maderanertal and Meiental, popular classics in the Wägital, high alpine scenery on the Galenstock, Sustenhorn and Titlis, and at the end of the season, sultry spring descents on the Gotthard, Furka or Susten Pass: The heart of Switzerland offers a huge selection of quickly accessible, varied and rewarding ski tours for every taste, fitness level, skiing ability and avalanche danger level. When selecting the routes and variants, attention was also paid to making the descents as long and interesting as possible. Many of the routes described are also suitable for snowboarders and snowshoers. And last but not least, a previously unpublished tour combination between the two excellent freeride centers in Central Switzerland is presented: the Haute Route from Andermatt to Engelberg.</p>
