    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.
