Hohes Brett - Overview of the ski tour through the Alpeltal - TopoPhoto: Stefan Stadler, DAV Section Teisendorf
After a short ascent on skis, you reach the Sommerwandl, which is the key point of the tour. The route continues through the narrow Alpeltal valley to the Umgängen (plateau). The last section leads over a hollow to the beautiful panoramic summit of the Hoher Brett.
According to the Swiss ski tour scale, the tour is classified as quite difficult ZS from 35 degrees to be categorised.

Roadbook
Ascent: From the car park, ski along the forest aisle (also Sommerweg) up to the Sommerwandl approx. 200m. Shoulder your skis here and follow the steel cable along the mostly snow-free, but often icy path crossing to the left. The terrain becomes flatter again for around 100 metres before you reach the next steep section. Depending on the conditions, this can be negotiated on skis (traverse to the far right and then back again) or carrying skis. Now it is technically easier to climb up the Alpeltal valley, which is bordered by impressive rock faces. The first beautiful views of Berchtesgaden and the Untersberg open up. We reach the Umgänge (plateau, 2,000 m) where we orientate ourselves to the south (right). The north-facing gully leading to the summit of the Hoher Brett is soon recognisable and we follow this in a logical line upwards at a maximum gradient of 40 degrees. The slope recedes and we reach the summit. All hail the mountain!
The descent is rewarding and corresponds to the ascent.
After the tour, we can recommend a stop at the Hofbräuhaus Berchtesgaden.
