If the snow line drops to 1500m in the spring, this is a challenging tour with a good chance of late powder turns.
Ascent
From the mountain station of the old chairlift (Marienbergbahn 2) to the Sunnalm (1640m). Then southwards to a forest clearing and into the north-facing Wannigkar. Cross the steep west-facing slopes into the cirque without any further loss of altitude. Follow the cirque, initially moderately steep, then flat again until you reach the huge north-facing summit slope. The last ascent again requires careful control of the conditions: this slope is initially only moderately steep, but becomes very steep further up in the area of the rocks, up to over 40°. The ascent route leads through the first large gully to the left of the summit structure. Follow the steeper gully up there and important: check the conditions again. After the gully, it is still about 50 meters up to the summit
Descent
Like the ascent and via the ski slope into the valley.
In good and safe conditions, after 50 meters below the summit "riders left" further beautiful gullies are possible.
