Fresh snow glistens in the early light; nobody's to be seen on the run. The stage is set for a superb ski experience.

At 7.25 a.m., the Hannigalp cable car starts out for the mountain station at 2,160 m.a.s.l., from where the virgin downhill run plunges 500 meters to Grächen. Accompanied by the piste supervisor, skiers will stay safe and also learn valuable information – about the part played by helicopters in providing snow for the slopes, for instance. Finally, participants enjoy a sumptuous breakfast at Hannigalp Mountain Restaurant, with local products, Grächen sausage and Valais Alpine cheese.
