Crans Montana to Anzere
This short tour lasting hald a day takes you off-piste down the back of the Plein Morte glacier towards the Zeuzier Dam below the village of Anzere. Good intermediate skiers should have no problem with this wonderful itineary although the last part towards the dam gets pretty steep.
Time permitting, a ski in Anzere is well worth it - a family friendly authentic ski resort with 58km of pistes. One day, the cable car link to Crans Montana will mean an easy way to get back!
