The somewhat different freeride contest in the middle of the Silvretta Bielerhöhe

by PowderGuide 02/14/2017
For the fifth time in a row, the Back On Track Freeride Contest 2017 will feature freeride action, hut fun, breathtaking scenery and friendly people in and around the Saarbrücker Hütte. This somewhat different freeride contest is built on the three cornerstones of "sustainability, nature compatibility and community spirit". The focus is therefore not on the sickest line, but on having fun together on the mountain - whether in the hut or on a ski tour on the surrounding slopes.

On the first day of the event (07.04.2017), the ascent to the Saarbrücker Hütte starts from the small village of Partenen. Once there, you will move into your accommodation and the rest of the day is free for all kinds of ski tours around the hut. The second day is all about the contest. After the face inspection and the contest, the award ceremony is held, followed by a celebration. The third and final day is again at leisure and the Back on Track ends in the late afternoon with the return to the valley. In bad weather, either avalanche awareness is taught or the BOT table football winner is determined.

Impressions from last year can be found in the gallery.
