    Ascent: Follow the forest road for about 1.5 km. After a right-hand hairpin turn, turn left onto another forest road. After another right-hand hairpin, leave the forest road and climb steeply for a short stretch on a trail through dense forest until you reach another forest road, just to the right of the so-called Waldhüttl alpine hut (1744 m). Do not head towards the hut, but continue straight over an open area and then through the forest until you reach the path again. Continue straight uphill through sparse forest until you reach the open alpine meadow above the treeline at two alpine huts (1822 m). Pass the hut on the right and head diagonally right up the long hollow. Now climb up the entire hollow on the left side of the Saxner North Ridge to the saddle. From the saddle, go over the ridge to the left to the summit with the cross.

    Descent: Same as the ascent; at the left-hand hairpin (in descent direction) at 1620 m, do not ski straight down (young forest!).

    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.
