Our destination, the Lorchenspitze, is located in the Martelltal, which is a well-known ski touring paradise in the upper Vinschgau. The starting point for all ski tours here is very high, around 1850m above sea level, which guarantees safe snow conditions.
The Lorchenspitze, at 3347m high, is a steep, relatively unknown ski route between the Zufritt and Hintere Nonnenspitze, which are much more frequently climbed. Since the Lorchenspitze faces north, you usually find perfect powder snow for a long time. Once you have passed the treeline on the ascent, the beautiful Zufritt valley opens up with its perfectly inclined ski slopes. A truly great ski route!
