Ascent & Route
Normal ascent route (North-West):
The splitboards / ski touring skis under our feet, we walk either along the forest rorad or directly uphill through the forest , crossing the forest road again and again and get to Largozalm. Shortly after the alp we pass a mountain village, we hike up on a ridge and then continue through hilly (small depressions and escarpments) splitboard / backcountry area, south-east to the summit.
There is a variant (Largoz North) here we start at Vöglesberg (approx 900m). First, through the woods to the south-west at about 1400m we are taking a slight curve towards the south-east and reach after a good hour walking the Schönrast hunting lodge at 1569m. Here we allow ourselves at very chilly days a cup of tea and then comfortably continue in a path to the free splitboard / backcountry terrain. At approximately 1800 m, we deviate temporarily avalanche-exposed sections and once again go into the forest. Winning height, we then proceed south-west and then up to the summit slope. Once on the back of the Largoz we go a few meters further to the south reaching the summit.
Descent & Variants
We will have a tea or two, mount our splitboard / backcountry equipment and ride down the same way as ascending. Shure we check for untouched powder. On good days you can ride down till the bottom of the valley, but to be honest we did not do it yet, because you have to get your car afterwards.

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.
