STARTING ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE PAZNAUN

The starting point is at the Alblittkopfbahn at 2,640 metres. Right from the start, it’s all about building up momentum. A short approach leads to the actual run – here you push off and build up a good pace again using the skating stride. After that, the terrain opens up and the view takes in the impressive Malfon.

After the first short descent, wide, superbly groomed slopes begin. This is where the ski run shows its sporty side: plenty of space, mostly a pleasant intermediate level of difficulty, and ideal for carving long turns into the snow at speed. Carving enthusiasts in particular will be in their element, as the generous slopes offer perfect conditions for dynamic turns.
