Nördlicher Daunkogel
Route Character
Snow safe (use of ski slopes up to 2000m), quiet tour with medium long ascent. Depending on the conditions, descents from the summit between 30° and 40° are possible.
Starting Point & Village
Starting point: Lower station Eisgrat I (Stubai glacier ski resort). Village: Neustift im Stubaital
Ascent & Route
From the starting point, you go past the Mutterbergalm (1748m) to the end of the ski route 14, which you follow up to a height of approx. 2000m to the end of a small depression on the right and leave the ski route there on the right (picture 1 recognizable end of the depression)
The steep step underneath the Vorderer Daunkopf (Figure 1) uphill to the right and ascend into the bottom of the Glamergrube. After a few hundred meters, our ascent separates to the Hinterer Daunkopf, which leads left further on towards “Wilde Grube”.
From here on I was completely alone, not a single track wide and far - a dream!
uhmmm - ok continue; o)
We follow the Glamergrube, first gently then pleasantly (20°) rising. In a left curve we first of all aim at the Mutterbergjoch (3012m) and from here we climb the northeast flank of the Daunkogel and reach the summit.
Descent & Variants
The downhill run takes place in good conditions in direct line from the summit - whereby it can be said that the more easterly the downhill run is the more demanding (see picture 3).
Keep right underneath the Vorderer Daunkopf towards the ski route, otherwise you have to push out a short distance.

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.
