Try Figln and have a nice time together at Nordkette
Nordkette is calling!
Gemma figln?" When spring has already arrived in the valley, the steep cirques on the mountain still entice with hard firn fields. And what is the Tyrolean's favorite thing to do then? That's right: Figln! This is Tyrolean and translated means "firn gliding".
Figl are skis about 50-60 cm long, made of light metal sheet or wood. When skiing with firn gliders, one uses a strong backward position.
If you are not sure yet if that’s the right thing for you, simply join to watch the Figl race or to listen to Richard Judge‘s DJ set.
