Selected alternatives for you
    Perfect south-facing slopes require an early start in spring, but you are rewarded with fantastic ski terrain for the approach via the forest road.

    The ski tour is very suitable as a spring firn tour. On the one hand, the steep slope to the ridge just before the summit is safely passable then, on the other hand, the south-facing slopes offer great firn enjoyment. Although it is not a "secret tip" in the Kaunertal, it is less frequented than the famous Glockturm.

    Author’s recommendation

    Start early enough. This way, you save the toll and catch the descent in the best spring snow conditions.

    Safety information

    The steep final slope should be climbed early enough. If you are too late here, it is better to forgo the summit.

    Roadbook

    From the small parking lot at Gepatsch Reservoir along the forest road up to the Nassereinalm. Past it and continuing on the path further into the Kaiserberg Valley. After about half an hour, we turn north to reach the Schwarzsee. We reach it after a small gorge. Depending on the snow conditions, it is also possible to climb on the right side of the gorge via a steeper slope. Across wide meadows, we now head for the steep final slope, with the summit already in sight. With some switchbacks, the summit ridge is reached, over which we reach the extensive summit without a cross without further problems.

    Descent along the ascent route.
