Hochplattspitze summit ski tour - Description

Ascent: Follow the forest path flatly into the valley. The ascent is from the valley (1625 m) over a steep ridge directly to the alpine pasture Schluppesalm (1825 m). At the alp continue in a south-easterly direction.  To the left of this into a small saddle (2050 m). On the left edge into the valley and slightly to the left of steep terrain on a moderate incline to below the large summit slope (2300 m). This slope becomes steeper and steeper, is unstructured and can only be done in absolutely safe conditions. It is best to follow the left edge until you reach a small ledge at 2450 m diagonally to the right, very steep (40-45°). Continue steeply up to the ridge (2510 m). If not already further down, then here is a ski depot. Over the narrow ridge to the right to the summit with cross.
Descent as ascent. In the spring you can also ski down from the former Jaufenhaus to above the alpine pasture and cross into the valley.
! Crampons and ice axe are recommended in spring.
