Adventure tour in the Berchtesgaden Alps

Snow condition

In the higher elevations, there is still an above-average amount of snow on the shady side. There's much less on the sunny side. Today we had an extremely long carry route on the SE side. Wherever possible, you should take the bike.

Snow quality

Actually, we got it mostly nice. Some very nice firn and fast summer snow. On the other hand, there were also some rougher wet snow descents and, unfortunately, braking at the bottom.

Usual spring situation. Pay attention to the diurnal cycle and be out of the sunny sides early. The dry and partly cool air is holding things back a bit.

Overall impression

Weite Tour in großartigem Ambiente, gut zu fahrenden Schnee und super Wetter. Aber so eine weite Tragestrecke muss dann doch nicht sein. Die vielen Höhenmeter Klettersteig waren auch ganz schön fordernd. Wenn es nicht zu warm wird, wird in den Hochlagen noch einige Zeit was gehen.
