The Bleispitze above Bichlbach reveals itself from all sides as a steep grassy mountain. No tree or shrub grows on its summit slopes, making it practically a ski mountain. Two popular ascents lead to its summit, with the one described here from Bichlbächle being the shorter one, but having some forest passages in the lower part, which can be unpleasant with little snow cover. Therefore, a solid base of snow should already be present to enjoy this ski tour.
However, this ascent is somewhat less avalanche-prone than the route from Obergarten (see variant). On the ascent itself, one mostly moves through flatter to moderately steep terrain. With reasonable route choice, the tour should generally be safely passable even with moderate avalanche danger. However, impressive avalanche cones are usually found at the base of the impressive grassy slopes, which hints at how it is here after heavy new snowfall.
The small mountain village of Bichlbächle is the starting point for this ski tour. Those who want to stay here for several days (the "Rote Stein" can also be approached from the same starting point) will find nice and affordable rooms at the Gasthof Bergmandl. The village is away from tourist crowds, so you will find peace and coziness here. If you need more action around you, you can also choose from a variety of hotels and guesthouses in nearby Berwang at somewhat higher prices and dive into après-ski in the evening.
AscentImmediately to the left of the Kaltbrunnbach we ascend upstream until the valley bends to the right. Several large avalanche tracks descend here from the left into the streambed. On the right of the stream, we soon see a striking clearing. Over this and the wooded ridge to the left (right of a steep gully) the summer trail leads up to the Bichlbächler Alm. It usually makes sense to roughly follow the summer trail route and ascend in several steep switchbacks into the soon flatter and less dense forest. Where the terrain flattens, stay left, cross a gully, and soon reach the Bichlbächler Alm. Now we orient ourselves fairly far to the left in the huge cirque nested below the north faces of the Gartner Wand. Along a ridge covered with forest and dwarf pines, we again follow the course of the summer trail. Without major difficulties, the ridge leads us through increasingly open terrain up to the height of the Sommerbergjöchle. We leave this immediately on the right and ascend
