Fotscher Windegg

From the car park, you start along the cleared toboggan run. After about half an hour, you will come to a junction signposted "Seigesalm". Follow this to the right and ascend along this forest road in a few hairpin bends. Before you reach the Sattelalm, turn left and climb a little steeper through the dense forest until you reach a clearing. Here it is a little flatter and then you have to cross another small belt of forest. Then the trees thin out and you reach the wide meadows of the Axamer Kälberalm. Here you meet the track that comes up from the Bergheim and the Almindalm. Now head in a slightly north-easterly direction across gentle terrain and hollows, with your destination always in sight. Orientation in this terrain is easy, as wooden poles repeatedly point the way. You head towards a small saddle and reach it effortlessly. Once at the saddle, head left along the broad ridge until just below the summit of the Fotscher Windegg. In good conditions with plenty of snow and little wind, you can ski up to the summit. Usually, however, you set up your ski depot under the rocky summit structure and walk the last few metres without difficulty to the easy summit cross.

In the variant presented here, the descent takes place from the ski depot along the ridge ridge, whereby there are already several possibilities to ski down the north-east slopes before the saddle on the right (assuming safe conditions). Continue across the wide slopes with plenty of opportunities to make your own tracks until you reach the sparse forest and then the forest belt. You will inevitably reach the forest road that comes up from the Almindalm. Follow this road down to Bergheim Fotsch. If you want to stop for a bite to eat, turn left over the bridge to the inn. Otherwise, continue straight ahead along the toboggan run out of the valley to the car park. Watch out for ascending tobogganists!
