For those of you who can't wait to buckle up and enjoy the speed and turns of skiing, here is a vicarious thrill you do not want to miss. The FIS pro tour opens this weekend on the Rettenbach Glacier above Sölden. The course starts at 3040 meters and the racers fly down the 370m vertical course, using from 41 to 56 gates to break their speed. On Saturday, it's the women's turn. The men race on Sunday. (The women's course has more gates.) It's GS format, meaning wider turns and two runs. Snow conditions are great, with over a meter of snow up top. Average descent is 33%, and the "Steilhang" offers an elevator-like 65%. All of the big names should be there, except for Taylor Swift. GOAT Mikaela Shiffrin, Laura Gut Behrami, and Federica Brignone should vie for the women's podium spots. For the men, look to Marco Odermatt to continue where he left off - as overall World Cup winner from 2024. One to watch is Marcel Hirscher. The Austrian is coming out of retirement. He is skiing now for Holland (his mother is Dutch) and he will be on a ski that costs about as much as some cars. But if he wins...buy the stock. The name: Van Deer. I skied them last season and they are "jet smooth". All the action will be TV, so check your TV Guide. Times are 10:00 for the first runs and 13:00 for the second ones.

Let it SNOW, Let it SNOW, LET IT SNOW! Remember, rain here is snow there...and there is the Alps. Our Revivals trips to St. Moritz Club Med have 116 folks signed up now , including a contingents from the USA, Scandinavia, and GB. We all go for the snow ( with a valley floor of 1800m to summit peaks over 3400m), but the comraderie comes in a close second. And, we are able to get more rooms for each date: 11.-15.12 and 18.-22.12. So, come join us!

first english, dann deutsch It’s official:
Ellie Goulding will be singing to open up Ischgl on 30 November. The British ballad and rock star was “discovered” in a pub 2 decades ago and made her breakthrough with the sound track song, Love Me Like You Do for the movie 50 Shades of Grey. Other hits include “Still Falling For You”, “Close To Me”, and “Burn”. Her lyrics sound a bit like Taylor Swift and the voice is arguably better. She will certainly add to the Legacy of great opening acts in Ischgl.

Es ist offiziell: Ellie Goulding wird am 30. November Ischgl eröffnen. Der britische Balladen- und Rockstar wurde vor zwei Jahrzehnten in einem Pub „entdeckt“ und schaffte ihren Durchbruch mit dem Soundtrack-Song „Love Me Like You Do“ für den Film „50 Shades of Grey“. Weitere Hits sind “Still Falling For You”, “Close To Me” und “Burn”. Ihre Texte klingen ein bisschen wie Taylor Swift und die Stimme ist wohl besser. Sie wird sicherlich zum Erbe großartiger Musiker in Ischgl beitragen.

In case you need a reminder: In September, Rain is here, Snow is there. "There" is the Alps! Already 35 cm. of new snow on the Hintertux Glacier, with lots more on the way. This means that conditions will be superb for our November Trips to Hintertux, Sölden, Ischgl, and Stubai. The glaciers have a foot (30 cm) of new snow already and the snow levels extend down to 2,000m. (see picture from today) What can you do? First, sign up for a trip. Second, get your body in shape.

Olympic Impressions

Probably need a few days to process all this, I like the German phrase better: “sacken lassen”, but anyway, here’ s my take. Lots of things to say.

L.A.: watch out! Your organising committee should have a lot zoom conversations with the French. We can learn a lot from them. Having the opening ceremonies on the Seine was a stroke of genius, even though it poured. And the marathons with a people’s marathon in between - what a fantastic idea! This should become S.O.P. for all future Olympics. And the “Visitor’s House” with free admission at the city hall - what a great way for locals to participate and public view so many events on the big screen - for free. And, the live connections to allow athletes to zoom with friends back home in real time - another great idea. No paper tickets-and charging stations provided at venues so that those with no power can charge their cell phones - another great idea.

Now to the competition. Here are my awards for the sports I know something about:

Basketball: Biggest Complainers: the US Boys. I mean, the officiating was not great - but it was equally bad for all teams. Actually, the Americans probably got more calls in their favor than any other team.
Lots of traveling violations were not called.
And, speaking of teams: The best team was clearly Serbia. The best Coach was Pesic from Serbia. The best players were from the U.S., and that is why they won. It certainly was not due to the coaching, which in my book was not good. Either Kerr prepared poorly or the players are too impressed with themselves and were “uncoachable”. Proof: We could not control the ball, committing so many turnovers that allowed our opponents to stay in several games. The second best team was Germany, that, talent -wise, was probably no better than 6th best and maybe even worse than Greece. I mean, Daniel Theiss? Johannes Voigtmann? Journeymen players at best. But, they all bonded and brought the best out in each other. Something Kerr was not able to do.

And the girls followed suite. They could have, and should have, lost the final, committing 19 turnovers. This game had none of the grace under pressure that the team showed earlier. It was a brawl with seemingly dozens of missed layups. The game was won from the foul line. For the French, their defense was worthy of a championship.

Best performances? In my book, number 1 was track’s Armaud Duplantis for setting the new pole vault record and beating the second place finisher by 30 cms. Then the 131 second “Curry Flurry” when he scored four 3-pointers, without a miss, at the end of the Gold Medal Game to literary claim victory from the jaws of defeat. Perhaps the best clutch shooting performance of all time, on the world’s biggest stage.

Then there were the best multiple performances, going to Leo Marchand in swimming and Simone Biles in gymnastics.

Best role models: Got to give this to Simone Biles for getting up one more time after being knocked down, Katie Ledecky for her decade long swimming dedication and Leo Neugebauer for his positive attitude even though he missed gold in the decathlon. Seems to be a great guy.

Biggest Flops: As usual the USA Men’s 4x100m relay team, who are apparently so “stuck up” that they cannot share anything, including the baton. And maybe the German Handball team for getting totally creamed by Denmark in the final, losing by 13 points. Of course, they DID make it to the final, so that is saying something.

New Stars who broke through the horizon: Esther Henseleit, German Golfer, who played the final round of golf with only one shot off target and came from 7 strokes back to take the Silver. And, the Chinese tennis player Zheng Qinwen who took the gold, beating Angelique Kerber and world Nr. 1 Iga Swiatek on the way.

Best Teams: USA Women gymnasts and Chinese Divers. And the six Olympic Athletes who proposed to get married to their partners during the Games. Hopefully all were “accepted.”

Best Sports to Watch: Men’s Hoops, Gymnastics, Track and Field, and both Hall and Beach Volleyball.

Best Venue: Had to be beach volleyball, under the Eifel Tower.

Medal Count: Go Girls Go…and they went. The U.S. women won more medals than the U.S. men! (Let’s hear it for Title 9, the US law requiring women equal financial support in college sports. This happened in 1972 and was signed into law, by - guess who-Richard Nixon!) Total medals won were 126 and 67 were won by women!
As for the national totals-some say it’s the number of golds that decides the national winner, others say it’s the number of total medals. Here is a better solution: give each gold 3 points, each silver 2, and each bronze one point. Using this formula, the USA wins…EASILY. 250 total medal points compared to 198 for China.

Best Pics: Brazilian Gabriel Medina and his gravity defying pose from Tahiti.
Wemby defying gravity out on the court.
Duplantis defying gravity at 6.25 meters, or 20 feet and 5 inches. That is almost 3 stories high.

I am sure that there were scores of memorable performances that I did not see and that were also worthy of mention. Hope you all enjoyed the two weeks in Paris and now… back to reality. It sure was fun while it lasted!

Es ist Zeit, über Skifahren nachzudenken ... nicht über Winterskifahren, sondern über Frühlingsskifahren.

Unsere jährliche Pilgerreise nach Val Thorens ist offiziell zur Buchung geöffnet. Die Termine sind vom 22. bis 29. März.

Wir schlafen auf 2300 m, können unsere Skier zum Anschnallen über den Balkon runterwerfen und genießen die tolle Woche mit Skifreaks aus über 10 Ländern. Der einzige Nachteil ist, dass man 6 Monate auf den Abflug warten muss.

Machen Sie sich bereit, indem Sie sich jetzt anmelden. Die Reise ist normalerweise vor Neujahr gefüllt. Wenn Sie sich vor dem 30. Oktober anmelden, erhalten Sie den 6-Tages-All Area „3 Vallées“ Skipass für weniger als das normale 6-Tages-Ticket für lediglich Val Thorens.

Bei dieser Reise handelt es sich um eine Selbstfahrt mit Unterkunft in Apartments. Die Preise beinhalten Unterkunft, lokale Steuern, Bettwäsche, Reisebegleitung und eine Woche voller Aktivitäten, um herauszufinden, warum wir diese Reise „Kanada ohne Jetlag“ nennen.

It’s time for The Olympic Games in Paris. They bring back special memories for Scherer Tours.

Forty years ago, we took a big risk and “bet the house” on the Sarajevo Winter Games of 1984. We had to pay 50% of the total costs 10 months out, and did not yet even have one booking. Talk about naivety. Back then, there were 12 International Ski Clubs in Germany, and we figured that if we could reach them all, we might be able to fill the trip.

Back then, Sarajevo was in a place called Yugoslavia. It was a staunch Russian ally. Its mountains were so low that they actually had to start the men's downhill race from the roof of a summit restaurant in order to meet the FIS elevation requirements! The biggest surprise? Had to be the victory of Bill Johnson in the Men’s Downhill. He had not done much before these Games, and didn’t do much after them either. But, he did have his “one moment in time” at the right time.

These Olympic Games were nothing compared to the pageantry of the Games of this century. Back then, there were 1272 athletes from 40 countries. The Winter Games in Beijing in 2022 had 2871 athletes from 91 countries. And Paris Summer Games will have 10,500 athletes from 206 "countries", not all of them even nations!

And Scherer Tours? It turned out to be a great idea for us. We sent over 250 people, most of them by train, to the Sarajevo Games. My personal memories include witnessing the glory of the Opening Ceremonies, sitting next to Lorne Green (of Bonanza fame) at the USA-Russia hockey game, easily won by the Russians. And the extreme cold weather at the outdoor events like ski jumping. And, the 17 hour trip back to Germany by car, featuring one of the worst snow storms in history, which shut down most of the autobahns in Bavaria.

We will be cheering for a lot of athletes, and teams, over the next two weeks. Hopefully, some of the underdogs will have their “one moment in time”.

In case you think the only sport Austrians are good at is skiing, well... think again. Theri national soccer team is one of the better teams in the European Championships being held in June and July. Tonight, they play a warm-up match against the Swiss national team. Why do we care? Because the goalkeeper in this game is a pretty cool guy. He is Heinz Lindner, also my son-in-law, husband of Anna and father of Noah, my first grandchild. Game Time is at 18:00 CET and it will be on the Nitro Station in Germany. So...Go Heinz and Go Austria.

This is a skiing season that NEVER seems to end. Don't make the mistake to ski by the calendar. Ski by the snow levels! Val Thorens has 42% more snow than usual. And, MORE snow is expected on the weekend. Snow levels are from 140 to 220 c. which means that May will be a great month to ski the higher elevations!

19/04/2024

So, quit complaining about the lousy weather in Germany everybody and use the opportunity to extend your skiing season! In Ischgl, the mountain has from 100 to 140m cm. of snow! MUCH more than in January...The Sommerbergbahn measures 2 meters of snow-and that is at 2100m. Above it, the Hintertux Glacier reports up to 4 meters of snow now. There is even snow in the Allgäu! (however, here most lifts are closed) Use it before you lose it! Val Thorens has more snow than we enjoyed one month ago. This ski season just doesn't want to end.

28/03/2024

Here it is, the trailer to the newest film from Scherer Tours: Smoke On the Water!

20/03/2024

One of the most memorable ski safaris ever! We started with 25 enthusiastic skiers and somehow stayed together! At the end, in spite of causing a lift line everywhere we skied, we cracked the 10,000 vertical meter mark and finished with over 20 people! The birthday kids Marion und Eric had plenty to celebrate! How many people do you know in this picture?

15/03/2024

Tomorrow is Pilgrimage Day: our annual adventure to Val Thorens. And this year, the snow Gods are with us, with snow levels from 150 to 220 cms. About 100 skiers and boarders are taking the trek, and it will be almost mystical. It's our biggest trip to V.T. since..the 1992 Olympics. Lac du Lou, here we come

The mountains are officially "fit" for the Winter. Are you? Here are our November trip destinations: Hintertux, Zermatt, and Ischgl It's time to Meet Your Mountain! Live webcams from today, 4 November.

31/10/2023

POWDER ALARM! The Alps are sinking in the deep stuff. November will be fantastic! Here are the actual stats from Hintertux with 30 cms. (and counting) of new snow on the glacier.

28/10/2023

The winter ski racing season is now officially underway. If these pictures don’t put you on your training bike, I don’t know what will. Up on the Sölden glacier, the snow conditions are superb. And, the surrounding mountains are also white so, it’s not all artificial snow! You can still see the second run, starting at 14.00 today on TV. Go Mikaela, go! Tomorrow the men have center stage. In two weeks, we are in Hintertux for our opening trip. Seeing is believing, “use it before you lose it!” The winter is here!

Here it is, the trailer to the newest film from Scherer Tours: Smoke On the Water!

Here is the link to the Trailer to our latest skiing adventure: Club Med in St. Moritz called "This Could Be Heaven For Everyone". The film should be produced and available before Christmas.

Are You Experienced? You don't have to be Jimi Hendrix. But, you do have to see this video. It's the Ischgl Closing in May, 2023, where thousands of folks join in the biggest rock concert over 2,000m. Great fun on the mountain, and totally empty slopes to ski - and over 120cm. snow on the hill as well.

It's a Good Feeling to Know - the trailer to the VT video is ready for prime time. This will be one of the best ones we have ever made. 47 folks on hand, and all made their contributions.

It's A Good Feeling To Know....here is a sneak preview from our Val Thorens movie of 2023. Just another "day in the office." 50 cm. New Snow and the first ones on the hill. Wild Bunch "A Team" from 28 March in the Trois Vallees, France. If you point a camera at these guys, they ski 15 years younger!

LES TROIS VALLEES - Five Weeks and Counting..brilliant Sunsets after 20:30, no lines, except maybe at the backery before breakfast for fresh bagettes, 160 lifts serving 500km. of runs, and much more off-piste, 8-9 hours riding and cruising in your boots every day. Skiing powder with garden gloves and a sweat shirt. An international group of 40 snow dancers from 7 countries...But don't take our word for it. Listen to Felix Neureuther, ex-Slalom World Champion. Val Thorens, on slope, 2300m, for the winter at its absolute BEST. Odi - Odi - Odi- Odi- Oh, Odi -Odi-Odi -Oh ( Sorry Lars!)

Der Countdown läuft!! Ten weeks and counting until the Saga of St. Moritz continues.

Just About a Moonlight Mile

Just About a Moonlight Mile: the film from hanging out at the Top of the World. Here is the trailer.
