Route Character
Beautiful, beginners tour, even when it is not that plane. (the perfect route to discover the joy of splitboard / backcountry skiing).
Starting Point & Village
Starting point:
Small parking at the northshore of the lake (Speichr Längental)
option B: At the material-lift of Mittergradhütten, at the first bridge below the lake
Village: KühtaiAscent & Route
From the small parking lot on the cross country ski trail along the reservoir and then up the little road a short distance to the west. Just before the road ends, we hike through open forest into the Mittertal. At a suitable point we cross the stream and get into nice splitboard / backcountry terrain.
Here we arrive as well, using the direct option at the material-lift.
Following the forest clearing we ascend to the west until we reach a kind of plateau at about 2,100 m. We go further to the north-west and reach a broad back, which we hike up to the summit. Sometimes it is blown of or pressed by the wind. Arriving at the summit slope, one can rise to both the north summit (2.394m) and some left holding the higher south summit (2,426).
Descent & Variants
As ascent, at safe conditions you still find good powder at this beginners route.
Ascending option B you can avoid the flat section in Mittertal, crossing the stream on the descent.

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.
