    We hike from the Franz-Senn-Hütte along the Alpeiner Bach valley and then ascend to the right to a moraine. We follow this in a southwesterly direction and then climb a steep gully on foot. It goes slightly uphill to the Turmferner. From there we ascend to a ridge up to the ski depot. The last few meters we climb – without rope protection as it is equipped with stirrups – to the summit cross of the Vorderer Turm (3,177 m). We ski down along the rock beside the Turmferner, continue south along the rock, and arrive at the moraine, where we ski in a direct line back to the hut.

    Safety information

    For the Turmscharte and summit ascent, secure walking with crampons is necessary. Alternatively, a rope handrail can be built. Beware of glacier crevasses, especially in poor visibility.
