Start is directly at the top station of the Grubenkopfbahn. From here, head initially south over the ridge and then first southwards, then southeast down into the Taschachtal. Many variants are available here; the direction is basically clear. Only in the lower third should you make sure to keep increasingly to the left, otherwise you will go too low and the return will be arduous. Here you then cross back northeast into the ski area. Caution: In this area, be careful and if necessary enter the ravines to be crossed individually (avalanche danger). At the very end, you have to push for a few meters before you meet the valley run of the Rifflseebahn again.

If you want to be with probably the coolest mountain guide, you should ask for "Schmatz".

Safety information
Usual safety equipment, at least avalanche transceiver, shovel, and probe. Be sure to pay attention to the avalanche forecast, and choose a route adapted accordingly on site. As always: The route described here is merely a recommendation; current local conditions must always be considered. Especially in spring, the sun shines strongly on the slopes exposed to the south or southeast, which can pose a risk of ground avalanches.Tips and suggestions
