Julian Alps

<p>Attention, danger of addiction! Between Säntis, the Alvier Group, Pizol and the Glarus Alps, there is a ski touring paradise to discover that is as diverse as the landscape around the Rhine Valley, Toggenburg and Lake Walen. Striking landmarks are the mighty Säntis in the north and the Tödi with its ice roof in the south. In between is an extremely varied touring area that has long been popular with locals.</p> <p>Enjoyable ski slopes from the valley to the summit without monotonous "Talhatscher", without dense mountain forests through which you have to struggle and without boring forest roads - this is how you imagine dream ski tours and this is how ski tours in Eastern Switzerland actually are. In addition to easier routes with enjoyable descents, the area also offers opportunities for challenging alpine undertakings such as climbing the Tödi. Many peaks offer magnificent views of the broad Rhine Valley, the deep blue Walensee or the striking Churfirsten peaks. Plenty of peaks are easily accessible on skis, most of them in mid-winter. On the other hand, the season even extends until the end of May for some routes, such as the Clariden.</p> <p>Stefan Herbke presents 50 interesting and varied routes in Appenzell, Toggenburg and the Glarus Alps. Precise ascent descriptions and maps with marked routes make it easy to find your way around the mountain. The header of each ski tour provides compact information: difficulty, duration, altitude difference and slope orientation of the route are shown at a glance, making it easier to choose. Tour profiles with information on valley locations and starting points, requirements, avalanche risk, favorable season, variants and refreshment stops complete the information. Numerous appealing color photos furthermore entice you to explore Eastern Switzerland on touring skis.</p> <p
