Ascent
The new Grasjochbahn cable car takes you comfortably to the Kreuzjoch and follows the ski slope to the start of the "R11 Zamang" ski route. This is where the traverse begins, following the ridge to below the Zamangspitze. It is easiest if the skis are attached to the backpack. The Zamangspitze is climbed via the summer trail. The upper part of the ascent is secured with ropes. After a short hike, the summit is reached.
Descent
The descent in the upper section runs over wide, open, sunny slopes with a perfect gradient. The key section is located at around 2,040 m: a narrow trough of a good 40° over an altitude difference of around 60 meters. After the hollow, the crossing towards Zamangalpe begins on the left (following the summer trail). From the Zamangalpe, open slopes follow again up to approx. 1,600 m. The goods trail then leads up to approx. 1,100 m, where the last meters of altitude run over open and very flat meadow slopes almost to the Grasjochbahn valley station.
