Every region has its classic circular tour, which is particularly popular due to its diverse scenic impressions and/or rewarding ski slopes. Just as the »Rotwand-Reibn« in the Bavarian Prealps or the »Kleine Reibn« in the Berchtesgadener Alps represent much frequented day tours, there is also such a gem in the Ehrwald region. The so-called »Grünstein circuit« cleverly uses the most beautiful cirques of the Mieming Mountains and connects them into a generous ski round. If you use the local lifts for the ascent to the Marienbergjoch, you get almost 1700 meters of descent with only 800 meters of ascent altitude.
Like most other circular tours, the Grünstein circuit also offers many variation options and small »extra tasks« along the way, which are gladly added by fit and motivated ski tourers under good conditions. In contrast, the »most logical« descent over the Biberwierer Scharte back to the starting point is very rarely used. This is probably because it is the steepest and the most unpleasant descent in the forest belt with little snow cover. For experienced ski tourers in good snow conditions, however, this is certainly a worthwhile alternative.
But the other descents and cirques also have their advantages. The terrain is mostly significantly more spacious, less densely vegetated, and forest roads and cross-country ski trails facilitate the valley descent in the lower part. However, one must be in the valley in time to take the ski bus back to the starting point, unless one arrived by public transport or left a vehicle at the endpoint. There is also a summit on the route, which can only be reached on foot. The Hintere Tajakopf can be reached from the Hintere Tajatörl in about half an hour.
AscentFrom Biberwier with the mountain railway in two sections to the mountain station just above Sunnalm. Short descent to the valley station of the Jochlift and continue further up to the Marienbergjoch with this lift.On the other side of the pass we first cross flat to the east, then moderately ascending further along the summer path through the larch fields to the open slopes below the Grünstein. A final short ascent takes us up to the Hölltörl. The first descent of the day now leads through the beautiful east-facing cirque down to the »Hölle«. At about 1800 m we can already keep left (do not cross too high in case of wet snow avalanche danger from the SE flank of the Grünstein) into the cirque basin, where the skins are reapplied. Now we ascend the almost perfect south cirque, initially still quite flat, then upwards at a pleasant, consistent incline of about 30 degrees to the Grünsteinscharte.DescentFrom the notch briefly somewhat steeper down until we can start a traverse to the
