So this is a recommended smaller tour (900m climb) in the Davos region, especially in late spring when the snow elsewhere has melted. One can take the Swiss “Postauto” from Davos Platz…

Leistchamm - A steep and windblown peak not far from Zurich with great views

Leistchamm (2101m) is “racy” peak above Amden, a small summer and winter resort closed to Zurich (40 minutes drive). The peak is mostly climbed in summer as it takes only about 2.5 hours to climb the peak on a good (sometimes slippery) trail.

In Search of Powder 2022/23

We certainly had better snow conditions in early winter in other years than in 2022. Currently (December 23) it is raining up to 2000m. Not ideal for the less than average snow cover. I thus cannot provide you with great powder pictures yet from this ski season, but have posted a few pictures from earlier years for you to enjoy.
