Spot de Stockalperturm / Hospiz-Niederalp

Stockalperturm / Hospiz-Niederalp

Stockalperturm / Hospiz-Niederalp

Switzerland

46.24 | 8.01

1869m

Overview

Large flat spot behind the barracks. Cross-country ski trails and the local snowkite school use the area. But it's big enough so no problem to practice here. With north wind, for advanced kiters it can be a good starting point for spots located higher up, but make sure to go well-equipped, you're directly in high mountains. With south wind it's also quite a playful spot.
