Ski touring in the Passeiertal Valley

Take the wide track until just before the Lazinser Hof inn. Then 20 m after the bridge turn left into a steep, rather sparse larch forest. Climb up the winding bends up until reaching the edge of the forest and continue up the slope to a lake at the top of the hill. The Erenspitze summit can be seen, but remains inaccessible. Descent: Same as the ascent, leading down magnificent slopes and through the forest.

• Distance: 3.9 km
• Height difference: 664 altitude metres
• Difficulty: easy
• Starting point: car park Pfelders (subject to charge: max. 6.00 €/day, Google Maps)

Great ski tour up to the snow-covered Timmelsjoch. Cross Timmelsbrücke bridge, past the Banker Alm mountain pasture on the right hand side and along a narrow uphill path behind it. As the valley opens out in front, there are the ruins of a mountain hut before the trail climbs up steeply to Timmelsjoch Pass. Having arrived at the Timmelsjoch parking lot at 2,484 m, keep to the left as the route leads into a wide valley before the final steep climb up to the summit. Descent: Follow the same route back down into the valley.

• Duration: 3.5 h
• Distance: 6 km
• Height difference: 1,054 altitude metres
• Difficulty: moderate

Tour details

Beautiful, long ski tour in the upper Passeier Valley. From Timmelsbrücke bridge head to Timmelsalm mountain hut and keep to the right until reaching the vast Oberkrumpwasser plateau. Taking a central route across the plateau ascend the steep slope to Hochkar, where another steep slope leads through a splendid glacier basin right to the summit. Attention: the slope to the summit must only be climbed on its East side! Descent: Once the steep initial section down from the summit has been overcome, there are marvellous slopes with fine powder snow.

• Duration: 4 - 5 h
• Distance: 8.4 km
• Height difference: 1,486 altitude metres
• Difficulty: difficult
• Starting point: car park at the bridge Ponte Tumulo (free parking, Google Maps)
