Pitztal - Mittagsscharte - Rinnen in the upper partPhoto: Heiko Joos, freeskiers.net
But caution: the terrain is quite demanding and secure conditions are necessary to do this run. In addition, the ascent is quite strenuous especially with new snow when no track has been laid yet.

TaschachalpeSafety information
Complete safety equipment absolutely necessary (avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe). Never ride alone, as the terrain is quite remote. Stable conditions are also absolutely necessary, especially in the upper part in the gullies (especially in the middle directly below and to the left of the Mittagsscharte) where drifted snow often lies. But the lower part also has numerous steep sections that definitely have the potential for avalanches. The description and map representation presented here are only recommendations and must be adapted to the conditions present on site.Tips and suggestions

Roadbook
After about 500 meters it is time to shoulder your skis (or alternatively put on skins) and the ascent begins. While Mittagskogel towers to the north, it goes steadily uphill in a westerly direction until the so-called "Mittagsscharte". Depending on conditions and existing tracks, the ascent takes about 20-30 minutes. Once you arrive at the Mittagsscharte, it's time to firmly attach your skis to your legs again; now the downhill fun can start.
The descent leads northwest down into the Taschachtal. In the upper section there are numerous steep gullies, with the terrain directly below the Mittagsscharte and left of it being more difficult than the right side. In the middle section you will find wide and open slopes, while the terrain in the lower part becomes increasingly rugged again with steeper and flatter sections alternating. The area is quite extensive, so everyone can basically find their own individual line.
Upon reaching the Taschachtal, you get onto the service road, which comfortably leads northeast back to the valley run of the Rifflseebahn and from there to the valley station of the glacier railway.
