The Thrill Begins

"Fear of Heights 1530" kicks off at the Furglerblick cable car station at an impressive 2,570 metres. The view alone is spectacular, but the real excitement begins as soon as you start your descent. Carve your way down perfectly groomed pistes, starting with the Furglerblick descent, which begins with moderate sections before ramping up the intensity.
