Re: Ski resort guide / review 07/08

Flumserberg - a bit more...

At the weekends the S-Bahn S2 will run on to Unterterzen at the weekend with 4 trains in the morning and 4 back in the evening. Check www.sbb.ch for details.

Flumserberg have invested heavily in new lifts over the years. A recent replacement being the cabin up from Unter- and Oberterzen. This makes train arrivals much easier avoiding a previous horrible bottle neck.

Some tips: at the weekends when conditions are good, the car parks are soon full: get there by 08:30.

There is some nice skiing off the back of both the Maschgenkamm and the Leist. Not ideal for snowboarders as there is a lot of skating. But beautiful and quiet runs even when Flumserberg busy. Do not attempt unless you are a competent skier and you can see other have gone. Later in the season these two descents are marked with poles.

For the adventurous when there is enough snow, the 6km descent to Oberterzen is possible. This is un-pisted and can be hard work, especially if you have parked at Oberterzen and it is the end of the day. Likewise for competent skiers only. Parking at Oberterzen saves about 15-20 minutes each way getting up and down to the car parks at Tannenheim...
