Descent over the steep northern slopes of the HaagspitzePhoto: Erich Ladstätter, Alpenverein Imst-Oberland
From the Jamtalboden up the steep south slopes to the Totenfeldferner. In hard snow conditions, good switchback technique and possibly crampons are necessary. The Totenfeldferner is heavily melted out. The crevasse danger is to be considered low. The descent on the north side of the Haagspitze is very steep and only advisable under safe conditions.
From the Bieltalferner, you ascend a very steep south flank to a rock ridge and thus reach the Getschnerferner through a small notch. Here begins a stunning descent partly over very steep slopes down to the Jamtalboden.

JamtalhütteSafety information
A good switchback technique and confident handling of descents in very steep terrain are basic requirements.Roadbook
From the Jamtalhütte, a short descent to the Jamtalboden and further to the memorial stone. Keep right and ascend the increasingly steep south slopes partly in switchbacks up to the basin of the Totenfeldferner. Climb up the right side of the glacier to below the Totenfeldscharte and then continue in a southwesterly direction on the glacier until the glacier steepens to the right. With some switchbacks you reach the ski depot below the Haagspitze. The last meters to the summit are covered on foot.
From the ski depot, you descend to a small notch and then take the descent over the very steep north slopes (partly over 35°) down to the Bieltalferner. At an altitude of 2700 m, you traverse in a northeast direction to the very steep south flanks of the local rock ridge. First with switchbacks and then in the very steep final ascent, you climb the small, inconspicuous notch in this rock ridge on foot.
From here begins a great descent over the beautiful slopes of the Getschnerferner. In the last section of this descent—about 300 m above the valley floor—you enter very steep, rocky terrain. Precise route choice is extremely important here. The best choice for the further descent leads over a pronounced ridge (very steep, about 40°), which becomes flatter towards the bottom. From the Jamtalboden, you can either ascend with a short climb back to the Jamtalhütte or continue descending to Galtür.

Directions
Coming from the east on the A12 to Landeck and a few kilometers further on the S16 to the Pians/Paznauntal exit. On the B188 to See, Kappl, Ischgl and finally to Galtür. From Landeck, it is about 38 km.
Coming from the west on the S16 to the Pians/Paznauntal exit. Continue as described above.
Attention: In winter months, Galtür is not accessible from the west via the Silvretta High Alpine Road (winter closure).
Parking
Shortly before entering the center of Galtür, the road branches off to the left running parallel to the Jambach. After a few meters there are paid parking options on the left.
Specifically for ski tourers, there is a large parking lot with numerous parking spaces in the Gampele district (slightly above Galtür). You reach this parking lot by turning left at the Jambach, following the stream parallel for a short distance, then turning left again after about 100 m and driving up a short distance. From this parking lot, you can start directly with skins on your skis.
