The impressive ski tour to the Rauhorn at 2240 m turns out to be a real insider tip in the Tannheim Valley. As a rule, you are one of the few who make their lonely swings at the foot of the Rauhorn. However, success on the summit requires nerves of steel and alpine experience. The subsequent descent in untouched deep snow, however, makes up for every drop of sweat and possible summit failure.
