The ski tour from Bisistal to Firsthöreli is a threefold experience: initially the ascent is on a long forest road through a steep forest, then the terrain opens up to reveal the fantastic wide skiing slopes of Galtenäbnet. At the same time, you cross the border between the cantons of Schwyz and Uri. And finally, you have the choice to ascend the prominent Firsthöreli or the gentle Mattner First.
