The Schneck (2269 m) is one of the typical Allgäu grass mountains with extremely steep slopes that turn white in winter and a fearsome north-east face. However, you can - at least on its pre-peak (2259 m) - undertake a scenically very impressive ski tour.

Good manners on the mountain - for the love of nature

Before you set off on your ski tour, there are a few things you need to bear in mind for your own protection and that of nature. In order to continue enjoying the splendour of the Alps, it is important that you follow the rules.

Avoid tours at night: In the dark, impassable terrain is difficult to see, so make sure you can always see where you are going. In addition, the flora and fauna on the mountain need their rest at night.
Avalanches: Inform yourself about the danger situation on site and do not take unnecessary risks. Bring avalanche equipment and make sure that you know how to use it and that everything works. <Self-assessment: Stay realistic about your skills! Even for a ski tour, the basic technique of skiing is prerequisite. Anyone who not confident on their skis potential danger to themselves and other winter sports enthusiasts.
