touring ski

Route A Starting point: Maso Corto/Kurzras, car park (2,011 m a.s.l)Ascent: 1,728 m elevation gain, 6-7 hoursBest time: March to May This tour is difficult alone due to the difference in elevation. From Maso Corto/Kurzras along the Sommerweg (summer path as far as the bridge; then in each case take a right into the Steinschlagtal Valley. Climb up through the valley, which is narrow at the start but then widens out. Head towards the north-west, cross the Steinschlagferner glacier and cross over through Quellenjoch pass to the Matscherferner glacier; or at 2,900 m a.s.l, veer right over steep slopes to the ridge where you reach the traces of the Hintereisfern glacier. Moving further north, you arrive at the Hintereisjoch pass where you can climb the Weißkugel by the south ridge. You can only reach the secondary summit with skis. The climb to the 30 m high main summit is very exposed. You can descend either by the same route or by the Bella Vista route (Route B). Only for good and very fit touring skiers with Alpine experience. Route B Starting point: Maso Corto/Kurzras, mountain station Grawand (3,212 m a.s.l) or Refuge Bella Vista (2,842 m a.s.l – with overnight stay)Ascent: 1,150 m elevation gain, 5 hoursBest time: March to the beginning of May The tour starts at the Hintereis chair lift mountain station.

Downhill to the Hintereisferner glacier as far as the trail that comes up from Vent. Arrive at Hintereisjoch pass having passed over the flat Hintereisferner glacier, from there northwards and over the south ridge to the secondary summit of the Weißkugel.

Via the flat Hintereisferner you reach the Hintereisjoch (3,471 m a.s.l).
