Finally, the time has come. There's enough snow. It's time to go ski touring!
Forests covered in a thick, glittering blanket of snow. The peaceful silence. Ski touring fills my heart with such joy.
But when planning a ski tour, there are certain aspects that should be considered so that the hearts of others, namely animals, don’t end up racing unnecessarily. Avoid heading out at dusk, or when it’s a full moon, or moving through the fringes of the forest.
Try to keep the volume down and keep your distance. Observe any signs, restricted areas/ wildlife sanctuaries or feeding areas. Even if it is difficult and, to be honest, not always possible when planning a winter tour, try to leave unspoilt valleys and slopes wild and unspoilt, only using new routes in emergency situations. There’s a whole article on the subject in my blog bergseensucht.com (in German) -> link
