Route description

Starting point:

Power station Tiwag

Ascent:

At the small bridge through the forest glade we hike up into the open splitboard / backcountry. The route starts with about 30 ° and becomes steeper and steeper. In a large S-bend, we proceed to the summit ridge. Here we construct the splitboard / ski deposit and walk on at the airy ridge to the top of the Hochwanner 2488m.

Descent:

As ascent, riding cool splitboard / backcountry terrain. At very safe condition provides the Hochwanner some very steep variations.
