Summer in the Mountains - Ski tour Großglockner
East Tyrol-North Carinthia

Overall impression
Snow condition
There was still snow as far as the Lucknerhaus, so you could start directly from there on skis. However, the night was so warm that only a rather thin layer of snow could form. From about 2500m we continued on crampons which served us well up to the Adlersruhe, otherwise there was a closed snow cover and no fine contact far and wide.
Snow quality
Warm, warm, old snow - the warm nights and the onset of summer have done a great job and made everything outside the "ascent & descent highway" quite rotten. We had been looking forward to a firn descent on the ascent. In the end, however, it was hard snow that turned directly into snow. (Firn for 150 m)
Risks
As expected with the isothermal snow layer, there were some magnificent slides to observe. Unimpressed, the caravans set off towards the Stüdlhütte at midday - Darwin sends his regards.
Overall impression
Quite nice - but only because you've done a few metres of climbing. The descent falls more into the "must do" category.
