650hm eastern face descent - nothing more to say. Beautiful splitboard / backcountry route.

Ascent & Route
First, along the slope, and later on the trail (forest road) into the valley along the stream, direction Greitalm (about 40 min). Passing right to the alm and now becoming steeper, in a curve to the right up to a slightly flatter part. From here, just a bit southwest directly to the prominent peak, later directly to the west in a few kickturns up to the ridge.
Arrived at the top hike the flat ridge in the direction of the now tangible summit with a prominent cross. Now we cross the northwest oriented summit slope in a left turn and hike up the final meters from the depot to the summit by feet.
Descent & Variants
Depending on snow conditions (the NW summit slope is often blown off) directly down the beautiful hill top and turn to the broad ridge. From here, you have an excellent descent, depending on the situation and will.You can find amazing backcountry runs over 800 vertical meters of powder.

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.
