Ski tour from Maiern to the Gleckspitze summit (2583 m)

Ascent: Begin by following the forest road uphill through several switchbacks, then continue into the Lazzacher Valley. Cross the first bridge and keep ascending on the left side of the valley. After about 6 km, at a fork in the path, take the left route. About 400 m after the junction, at the first stream coming in from the left (approx. 2,030 m), leave the trail. Climb up to a plateau to the right of the stream. From here, the steep summit face of the Gleckspitze becomes clearly visible. Continue on the right side of the stream channel, heading directly toward the summit, and ascend a slope into a flatter area at around 2,250 m. Keep going straight, then veer slightly left into a flat basin (2,350 m). Continue through a hollow and ascend leftward onto a small shoulder (2,460 m). From here, climb diagonally right onto a ridge. This may be a good place to leave your skis. Continue straight ahead or climb to the ridge on the left and follow it rightward to the summit marked by a small cross.

Descent: Same as ascent.

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.
