Geiselspitze from JamnigalmPhoto: A. Kleinwächter, Hohe Tauern - die Nationalpark-Region in Kärnten Tourismus GmbH
Great route to an "almost 3,000-meter peak" that at first glance does not look like a suitable ski mountain at all. Two splendid descent options are offered:
a) Along the usual ascent route back north (Hagener Hütte) - possible even in midwinter under secure conditions
b) Through the south gully to the Feldseescharte. Very steep descent, only with secure firn!
Author’s recommendation
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Tips and suggestions
Respect your limits - 5 rules for responsible snowshoeing or ski touring:
- Where available, stay on marked routes; absolutely observe signs as well as protected, reserved, and restricted areas
- Consider wildlife: avoid feeding places and withdraw immediately and calmly if you see an animal
- Avoid young tree cultures (under 3 meters), ski edges can cause significant damage to trees
- Do not leave any waste behind
- Avoid noise
Roadbook
From the Jamnigalm parking lot (toll) in several switchbacks to the Jamnighütte (not operated). Further ascent either to the right of the distinctive gully to the Hagener Hütte and roughly along the summer path to the saddle at Westerfrölkekogel, where the path changes from the east to the west side and thus from Carinthia to Salzburg.
Or - more direct - upwards to the left of the gully and over somewhat steeper slopes in switchbacks directly up to the mentioned saddle.
Now always slightly to the right (west) of the north ridge to the saddle between the Vorderer and Mittlerer Geiselspitze. Ski deposit here. A few minutes to the summit cross.
In midwinter, the descent must absolutely follow roughly the ascent track.
In spring, the very steep option to the Feldseescharte is offered: steep, spirited descent for confident skiers, but only with truly secure firn conditions! From the Feldseescharte directly down a magnificent 1000-meter slope to Jamnigalm.
Public transport
Thanks to its IC train station, Mallnitz is perfectly accessible without a car, with trains running from Salzburg and from Villach every two hours.
