The ski tour to Langgrubjoch is still relatively popular. It is relatively easy and not as challenging as the tours on the high neighbouring peaks. However, it does rise to over 3,000 m and offers a good insight into the mountain world of Schnalstal Valley.
Starting point: Certosa/Karthaus (1,327 m a.s.l)
Ascent: 1,653 m elevation gain, 4.5 hours
Best time: April and May
Together with the Kleinen Wiegenspitze that is situated slightly northwards, the Hohe Wiegenspitze rises between the Mastauntal and the Penaudtal valleys. Follow the trail from Certosa/Karthaus into the Penaudtal valley, as in ski tours to the Grubenspitze, the Vermoi Peak and and the Mountain Zerminiger. At mountain pasture Penaud (2,319 m a.s.l), take a right and follow the rather steep but sunny southern slope upwards to the summit. You can descend either by the same route or through the Mastauntal valley (ski tour to the Hohe Wiegenspitze from Madonna di Senales/Unser Frau).
For practised skiers.
Route A
Starting point: Maso Corto/Kurzras, car park (2,011 m a.s.l)
Ascent: 1,728 m elevation gain, 6-7 hours
Best time: March to May
This tour is difficult alone due to the difference in elevation. From Maso Corto/Kurzras along the Sommerweg (summer path as far as the bridge; then in each case take a right into the Steinschlagtal Valley. Climb up through the valley, which is narrow at the start but then widens out. Head towards the north-west, cross the Steinschlagferner glacier and cross over through Quellenjoch pass to the Matscherferner glacier; or at 2,900 m a.s.l, veer right over steep slopes to the ridge where you reach the traces of the Hintereisfern glacier. Moving further north, you arrive at the Hintereisjoch pass where you can climb the Weißkugel by the south ridge. You can only reach the secondary summit with skis. The climb to the 30 m high main summit is very exposed. You can descend either by the same route or by the Bella Vista route (Route B).
Only for good and very fit touring skiers with Alpine experience.

Ascent: 1,000 m elevation gain, 4 hours

with the construction of the chairlift Teurelsegg, the tour to the Weisskugel peak is mainly started from there. The disadvangage, however, is that many tourers usually start at the same time. The ascent is via Teurelsegg (3,227 m a.s.l) from there short descent to the Hintereisferner. Via the flat Hintereisferner you reach the Hintereisjoch (3,471 m a.s.l). From there turning north, overcoming the steep mud wall and over the south degree to te pre-peak of the Weißkugel (there is a skidepot). To the 30 m main summit one reaches an exposed degree. The descent is the same as the ascent route and then back down to the valley via the slopes, both routes variant A an B for good skiers with alpine experience.

The Sesto ski touring trail teaches you everything you need to know for safe ski touring during a tour lasting just under two hours. The ski touring trail combines basic theoretical knowledge, for example about the correct behaviour in the event of an avalanche, with an almost six-kilometre tour on which around 540 metres in altitude have to be conquered. The ski touring trail, which is equipped with information boards, starts behind the Zin Fux restaurant and leads between trees and across meadows to the Rotwand. From there to the mountain station, the uphill kick turn is practised in open terrain before returning to the valley via the ski slope.

Best time for departure A: December to May
Best time for departures B and C: March to May
This is a very pleasant tour on a mountain that is still very much glaciated on the north side but that is not without its risks in one part where the “icefall” east of the Giogo Alto/Hochjoch glacier is hazardous due to glacier crevasses. The ascent is from Maso Corto/Kurzras to the Bella Vista lodge or with the Schnalstal valley cable car to the Giogo Alto/Hochjoch glacier; you leave the east side by climbing through the icefall. Avoiding the crevasses, the trail rises steeply to the upper glacier terrace, and keeping to the west of the summit, very steeply to the ridge shoulder. Continue along the short but exposed ridge to the summit.
Descent A: go along the ascent route to the Giogo Alto/Hochjoch pass and descend to the valley as far as Maso Corto/Kurzras or take the Schnalstal Valley cable car.
Descent B: Taking the first steep slope down, then to the right/north-east and continue south-easterly and southwards to the Giogo Alto/Niederjoch pass and on to the Refuge Similaun.
Descent C: Northwards towards the Hochjoch-Hospiz hut and Vent (A)
