Route Character
On the normal ascent the Wankspitze is a rarely avalanche endangered splitboard tour. With safe conditions you can find beautiful steep variations.
Starting Point & Village
Starting point: Parking at the inn Arzkasten, parking fee. Village: Obsteig
Ascent & Route
At first on the tobogan run and forest glades as short cuts direction Lehnberghaus. Just before reaching the Lehnberghaus we cross the tobogan run and climb up a little steeper to a small saddle (Lacke) (direction East). From here you have a beautiful view to the Inntal. Then we go on to the North through stepped area till we reach the timberline and the so called muzzle (a narrow couloir through the woods). From up there towards north-west and the summit will be reached shortly.
Descent & Variants
As ascent, at very safe conditions you can drop in directly from the peak to the south, steeply through the rift above the Lehnberghaus. There are diferent options straight to hell (just called like this) but you need to know the area exactly.

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.
