South Tyrol´s digital travel guide
Ascent: Option 1: From the parking lot at the valley station, follow the wide forest road moderately steeply uphill with several switchbacks to the Kaserlichtalm alpine hut. Option 2: The more challenging route follows the ski touring trail along the Mahlbach stream, steeply ascending through dense forest to the Kaserlichtalm alpine hut, then continues moderately steep through the forest until you meet the ski slope to the right of the Saxnerhütte alpine hut. From there, follow the right side of the slope over nicely tiered terrain to the Jaufen ridge right of the Saxner lift mountain station, then continue west along the broad ridge to the summit.
Descent: Option 1: From the Kaserlichtalm alpine hut head east and reach the slope in a few minutes. Then descend via the ski slope. Option 2: From the summit, return the same way until you reach the ski slope, then continue down the ski slope (not through the forest).
Pistes are closed after 5:00 PM for safety reasons.
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.
The designation “passable” refers solely to the accessibility of the route and does not provide any information about avalanche conditions. These must always be assessed independently before each tour.
You are moving in unsecured alpine terrain. Be aware of alpine dangers and act responsibly. The planning and execution of all ski tours is your own responsibility.
Avalanche report: www.avalanche.report
The equipment must be adapted to the weather conditions. An avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe, first aid kit and a map are indispensable.
