Blatten - Fafleralp by Annina

War letzten Samstag (4. Januar) dort. Perfekte Bedingungen, eine Unmenge an Schnee und eine frisch gemachte Piste fast für mich alleine - sie wird tatsächlich mit Fussgängern geteilt, was die Qualität am Samstag jedoch nicht beeinträchtigte. Die Aussicht von der Fafleralp (Aussichtspunkt) ist super!! Komme gerne wieder!!
