    Not without reason, Scheinbergspitze is considered one of the most avalanche-safe classic ski tours in the Bavarian Alps. The tour, which is still doable at least up to the ski depot even under doubtful conditions, is so popular that it is best to undertake it during the week.

    About 90% of all ski mountaineers approach Scheinbergspitze as a "comfortable ski mountaineering walk" and stop at the ski depot. The difficulty, time, and altitude information given here refer to this point.

    Those who want to continue to the highest point must have solid alpine skills because the wire rope protections on the exposed summit ridge are usually covered by snow and ice in winter.
    It is very important to follow the environmentally friendly ascent route clearly displayed on a large board at the parking lot, which does not touch the habitats of the hazel grouse.

    Author’s recommendation

    This route is especially recommended on the first morning after a new snowfall because the beautiful slope under the ski depot is quickly skied out due to the tour's popularity.

    Safety information

    The optional summit ascent requires secure avalanche conditions and good surefootedness.

    Roadbook

    From the parking lot, follow the forest road flat for about 150 meters, which starts right next to the information board of the project "Environmentally Friendly Ski Mountaineering." At a green sign with an arrow, turn left, cross a bridge, and soon after, the forest road ascends a bit steeper. In a right curve, you can leave the road by continuing straight on a forest path. Ascending steadily in the same direction, you will soon reach the wide forest road again. Follow this forest road flatter to the left and about 50 meters past a bridge, turn right again onto a forest path (green sign with arrow and DAV information board). Follow the forest path westwards for a while until you see, above and to the left, a clearing that was made long ago. Here, turn left and climb over the clearing to the forest ridge leading to the Scheinbergspitze. Once you reach the ridge line, turn right and follow the still forested ridge westwards. Eventually, the ridge becomes completely free and leads to a hillock in front of the Scheinbergspitze, where most ski mountaineers end their ascent.

    Those who want to reach the summit continue keeping left, through a hollow and over a short steep slope to the start of the summit ridge (ski depot). From here, it is initially easy to a rock step, over which it becomes a bit exposed (wire ropes) and leads up to the summit cross.

    The descent follows the ascent route. Alternatively, at the lower end of the free ridge, you can turn left onto wooded but well skiable north-facing slopes. You must pay attention to tend toward the right so as not to miss the forest path leading back down to the forest road. Follow this path back to the starting point.
