Sechstagestour zur Wildspitze
Sölden, Ötztal

Overall impression
Snow condition
The snow conditions were good, so it was possible to ski up to the Martin Busch hut from Vent. At the end of the week, we were able to ski down to the parking lot via the slopes of the Wildspitzlift without coming into contact with rocks, but there was a lack of snow in the valley below the Hochjochhospiz on the final ascent. You probably have to carry a bit further now.
Snow quality
The snow quality was good, especially on the wind-protected eastern flank of the Weisskugel (see photos), but in the afternoon the snow was too wet, so that the last descent should not be tackled after 1/14 pm!
Risks
The avalanche situation was more relaxed above 2500m, below this limit wet snow avalanches are to be expected in steeper slopes from early noon.
Overall impression
Beautiful one-week tour from Vent to Vent via Martin Busch, Similaun, Bella Vista, Hochjochhospiz (Weisskugel), Vernagt and the final Wildspitze including ridge walk. Classic.
