Zillertaler Alpen

The north face of the "King of the Zillertal Alps", also known as the "Gran Pilastro" in Italian, is a true classic among steep faces. Seen from the Austrian side, this wall, which is up to 55 degrees steep, rises 400 meters into the air. It is usually only climbed, but in good conditions it can also be conquered downhill on skis or snowboard.

The descent from the Kleiner Kaserer is a lift-assisted variation of a ski tour with the same name starting at Wipptal.

The new Panico ski touring guide "Tux and Zillertal Alps" by Markus Stadler presents numerous ski tours from the Tux and Zillertal Alps. The tours presented are as different as the two mountain ranges themselves. They range from leisurely ski tours close to the slopes in Hochfügen to classic day tours in the Tux Alps, a popular region for ski tourers, to high alpine climbs, some lasting several days, to the glacier giants of the Zillertal Alps.

The new Tyrol Ski Touring Guide by the two authors Axel Jentzsch-Rabl and Johann Zagajsek presents around 400 ski tours on 384 pages, mainly in the Tyrolean lowlands, the eastern part of North Tyrol.
