I think that should answer your question.

Doesn't that just mean that you can't find Söll?

Rustyinn is a mine of knowledge on Zellam Zee.
I was amused to see an advert at the weekend, when in London, for a train to Worgl! There is a link to ZAZ from there.

The Insurance Minefield ~ Chapter 2

What I read is that they are at least trying. It is tempting to test the wording by offering sets of circumstances. So I'm going to! )
In relation to item 1 ~ what if you are experienced, but only go slightly off-piste?
And item 2 ~ In Lech, last year, I lead a group, (only in the sense that I went first, I was the most experienced, and that they blindly trusted and followed me), where we joined the zigs to the zags, and then the zags to the zigs ~ all the way down a red run. The only time we were on the run was to cross the piste. 95% was off piste. We were in full sight of the whole valley, and easily reachable by the first aid ackier. Risk wise, I might suggest we were safer than being on-piste.
I would be wary of skiing down Av Risk level 3, where the slope was south-facing ~ not an aspect that I have seen mentioned.
I am concrned that the insurance companies hook up so much on avalanches. My experiences of dead bodies in my local resort, have been 2 dead on piste, both heart attacks, and 3 dead off-piste, all impact fatalities. (with trees)
