Freeride tour of the week | Klingenspitze

Freeride highlight on the Hochkönig

by Alexander Braschel 01/04/2015
The Dienten am Hochkönig ski area is mainly known for its wonderful treeruns and the numerous variants on the Aberg. But there are also a few treats for freeriders outside the ski area, such as the ski tour to the Klingespitze.

Ascent

From the parking lot, continue along the road on the right-hand side of the valley until you come to the end of the first S-bend, where you can continue straight on to the Deutingalm, which you can already see. Following the summer trail (Almweg no. 3), you soon reach the Reicheralm (1550 m), keeping to the right. From the Reicheralm, ascend northwest to the clearly visible saddle and follow the long ridge south to the summit.

Descent

In safe conditions, descend via numerous variants through the rather steep summit slope and over the flatter alpine pastures back towards the Deutingalm and parking lot.

The summit slope is always very easy to see on the ascent and you can plan your descent line well. If the conditions are right, you can also take on some medium to large cliffs here.
