It couldn’t have been better: just in time for the first weekend in December, there was plenty of fresh snow in the Graubünden mountains. But the exuberant party on the slope this Saturday is sought in vain.
The mini blockade has been in effect in Graubünden since 11pm on Friday. Bars and restaurants have had to remain closed since then. Only one offer to go is allowed. Measures that also change the day of skiing on the slopes.
It rolls out of the backpack instead of Schnipo at the bar.
Thomas Hofstetter of Jona SG is one of those who did not miss the excursion into the heights despite the restrictions. In the parking lot of the Davos Parsenn-Bahnen he remembers a successful ski day. “We took the Kafi from home, it warmed us up very well. And we also had a sandwich. “
A bread roll from the backpack instead of “Schnipo” in the restaurant and coffee from the thermos instead of the Schoggi Mélange, that’s what many guests in Graubünden did this Saturday.
“We looked a little pale with our sandwiches”
But it was “special”, without the must-visit pub at the edge of the runway, says Roger Sutter of Näfels in the canton of Glarus. He also arrived with supplies in his backpack. After all, you weren’t completely alone on the mountain. Because apparently some restaurants have already adapted to the new conditions: “Once upstairs there was a coffee to go.”
For some track-goers, the confinement even gave their imagination an extra boost: “We also met a group that made their own raclette,” Sutter continues. “We were a little pale with our sandwiches,” he laughs.
Pickling lock remains for at least two weeks
The conclusion on day 1 of the new Graubünden lockdown measures is almost entirely positive for winter sports visitors. With a bit of improv, everyone really dominated the day on the slopes without a detour to the mountain restaurant.
The situation in the Graubünden winter sports regions will not change for at least two weeks. The situation will then be reassessed. All this with the illusion of being able to offer normal operations again at least during the holidays and the new year. Because there is nothing better than warm Älplermagronen in the cozy mountain pub.
