Ascent: Follow the piste uphill for a short distance, then above the farms of Entholz, cross meadows to the left edge of the forest to a farm building. Just past this, take the summer trail (marked no. 25) through the forest to the right of the stream, ascending until you reach a forest road coming in from the left. Follow this road to the right until the junction with the sign “Joggelealm / Einachtspitze.” Continue right on the forest road to the Wildenhütte (1,930 m) at the forest edge. From there, ascend straight over open terrain, pass a hay barn on a hill to the right, then cross left towards the already visible Joggelealm alpine hut (2,070 m). From here, head diagonally left uphill towards the northeast ridge of Einachtspitze. Climb through a wide hollow, then make a short traverse left onto the ridge. Follow the ridge, occasionally staying slightly left of it, passing a small rocky outcrop on the right. Continue briefly over a broad ridge to the summit.
Descent: Return the same way to Wildenhütte mountain hut, or—if snow conditions are safe—descend directly over the northeast flank.
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.
