Review Looking back at our trail and at Mitterleiten © Evamaria Wecker, Primus WeckerPhoto: Evamaria Wecker, Primus Wecker, Rother Bergverlag
An untouched Spitzstein is almost non-existent. Even in snowfall, enthusiasts of the small rocky peak and powder snow hunters are on the move. Thus, the Spitzstein is regularly well-traced and skied by skiers, and the narrower sections are groomed like pistes. This also makes it easier for us snowshoers to break trail and find our way. Nevertheless, the Spitzstein should not be underestimated; its south-facing summit slope is steep and often crusted over. Those who prefer it quieter should go best on weekdays or in late winter – from February/March it gradually becomes quiet on our little mountain, as skiers look for higher alpine goals and only a few locals enjoy the view at the summit chapel.
Our ascent first leads through a romantic little valley, along the iced-over creek towards the northwest (watch out for possible avalanche slides from the open alpine slopes on the right). After about 15 minutes, we climb upwards over a short slope to the right in an S-loop to a wooden fence (here we also meet the path from Mitterleiten) and walk along the fence towards the west. After a few hundred meters, we reach a fork in the trail, keep to the right and follow the summer path marked with a 6 into the forest. On the relatively wide path, we hike uphill through the forest to an open slope, along which, best at the forest edge, we reach the beautifully located Steinmoosalm with its old, gnarled trees. Shortly after the Alm we turn left towards the Spitzsteinhaus, 1252 m. Slightly above the house stands the Altkaser Alm, above which the steep summit slope begins. For the ascent, we cross to the right, first past individual trees, then into a sparse forest that becomes denser. The most
