Scheichenspitze - High-Alpine ski tour

High alpine ski tour with an ascent of over 1,600 metres to the Scheichenspitze (2,667 m) and a steep descent through the Edelgrieß.

The high alpine ski tour to the Scheichenspitze first leads up towards the Lärchbodenalm, then over the Tiefkar to the Guttenberghaus and from there towards the Gruberscharte - continuing through the Landfriedstal and finally over the northern ridge up to the summit. From the summit of the Scheichenspitze, head back down the partly secured ridge into the Landfriedstal valley, from where a short ascent towards Edelgrieß begins. The descent then goes down through the Edelgrieß and ends at the SkiWilly/Rittislift bus stop.

Note:

If the avalanche risk is too high on the south side of the Eselstein, you can optionally do the tour behind the Guttenberghaus to the Feisterscharte and then into the Landfriedstal. Please note that this ski tour is only suitable for advanced climbers and professionals!
