Route course The route course can be well seen from the castle ruins at Ehrenberg. © Markus StadlerPhoto: Markus Stadler, Rother Bergverlag
The Thaneller forms the northernmost mountain massif of the Lechtal Alps, but it is clearly separated from the other mountain ranges of the area by the Berwanger and Rotlechtal valleys. Due to its free-standing location, it is famous as an excellent viewpoint peak. But the mountain itself also offers an impressive sight – for example from Ehrenberg. This hill north of Reutte houses a highly interesting open-air museum about the knightly era in the Lechtal. A detour there is definitely worthwhile when returning early from the ski tour. The ascent to the castle ruins at Ehrenberg takes about 30 minutes, but you should allow at least one and a half to two hours for a round trip. Half an hour higher, there is a second exhibition site at Schloßkopf – from there you get the best view of the Thaneller and the Lechtal valley.
Now to our ski tour. It is a relatively demanding route that requires safe conditions, but due to its shady location it is quite snow-safe. The steep north cirque offers long powder snow, although it is relatively wind-exposed and the north wind often "caps" the powder especially in the upper part. The exit into the notch is quite steep and can sometimes only be managed on foot with little snow or hard snow conditions. Under very unfavorable conditions, crampons may even be recommended. After that, you switch to the sunny side, and the summit ridge often offers nice firn conditions with good snow.
Ascent To the right of the lift, we ascend via the left, steeper branch of the slope until the two slope branches converge again. Here we cross the ski slope to the right side, where a path leads into the forest. We follow this to a forest road and continue to a left-hand hairpin. Now we go straight into the gully coming down from the Thaneller cirque. Initially ascending left or right of the gully to a fork. Now continue directly on the left branch until the terrain becomes more open. We ascend through a beautiful hollow until we conveniently reach the larch ridge on the right, which fades upward into the cirque. We climb the huge slope with a comfortable inclination up to the first rocks on the left of the striking gully descending from the notch. Through the gully, it becomes increasingly steep upward to a rock-strewn steep section. This can usually be surprisingly comfortably circumvented by a left loop, and a short, steep traverse (possibly tricky with little snow or ice here)
