Ascent: Cross the bridge and follow the forest road uphill, which leads right through a short wooded section. At a corner near a forest clearing, turn left into open terrain. Now go straight up until just below a rocky steep step. Ascend diagonally right over a ramp onto a knoll leading to a plateau at Klammalm alpine hut(1925 m). Continue straight ahead on flat ground and after a corner turn left into the wide valley. After Klammalm, on the flat valley floor, there is an old wall on the right. Cross over it and climb a very steep slope on the right into a plateau with Butsee lake (2400 m). Now ascend a large, long ramp over moderately steep terrain into a hollow on the left. Keeping left under a notch, continue over a slope to the summit ridge. Here set up a ski depot. From there, head left to the summit.

Descent: Same as the ascent.

Good to know: This is a premium ski tour featuring designated and cleared parking areas at the starting points, information boards with a panoramic map, route overview and tour data, as well as avalanche transceiver checkpoints for safety equipment testing.

The designation “passable” refers solely to the accessibility of the route and does not provide any information about avalanche conditions. These must always be assessed independently before each tour.
