Story:
Today i wanted to make a second trip with snowshoes at Pischa. Not a touristic Rondtrip, but somewhat more demanding. Well i got it. I got up the Pischa by bus and the Gondel. That was ok. The first part of the route i wanted to take was easy. A little up and down, but a snow bully had made it flat. At Hüreli this prepared path ended. I decided to go down in front of the Seehorn and not over to Alp Druschatscha, because of the steepness, although the Avalanche danger today was low. The fist part was nice because i was walking in the sun and could see were i wanted to go and where i could walk. The snow was not deep. The upper layer soft, wand under that frozen and hard. At steep part that was more difficult because the upper part started drifting and i started gliding, so i landed on my bottom and slid down a few meters.

There were no other trails so i had to find my own path. When i came down at the wood i had to find my way and there began the demanding part. I came at very steep places, places where little avalanches went down etc. At some part again the snow started sliding and i had no grip and slid down. Now i had to avoid the trees in my slicing down. A some parts the snow was deep too and heavier then higher up the mountain. At one part i was so steep and i started gliding, couldn't stop just tried to manage it. At the end my snowshoe hooked in somewhere and i bended my knee a little to far. That hurt. But standing up wand walking afterwards was no problem, but it scared me for a moment, And although i could see the Flüela road 300 mtrs below i realized when i would injure myself walking alone i would have a problem.....
Then if found a path and al went smooth again. As a reward i saw two groups of found dears running through the woulds, but at the end i was glad to be back.
