Route Character

Magnificent, backcountry above the tree line, further down we hike easily through the forest. It is one of the most popular splitboard / skitour in Ratschings Valley. Nevertheless, there you often find good powder.

Starting Point & Village

Starting point:

Right on the road just before the village Flading there are a few small free parking lots.

Village: Ratschings

Ascent & Route

From the road branches off to the east a shallow forest from which we follow to the first bend. Over a small forest glade we hike throug the light forest up to the Kaserlichtalm. From here head south again through a short wooded area to the outer Wumbsalm and moderately steep up to the crest of the wide Kar,  which we cope with the last few turns. At the top we can walk to the right up a steep ridge to the summit of Fleckner or we walk to the left reaching a flatter hill almost as a prospective as the Fleckner .

Descent & Variants

We have plenty of good runs in the splitboard / backcountry area at the Fleckner. Before entering the forest we get back to the uphill slope to get easily back to the car.

Map Explanation

  • Slope inclinations are a very important criterion in avalanche risk management. However, slope inclination alone should never be the sole criterion!
  • The resolution for Austria and South Tyrol is based on a digital terrain model (DTM) with 10m resolution. Outside these areas, accuracy is significantly lower.
  • A map can only ever provide a limited view of real conditions.
