The tour to the Watleskreuz leads along a comfortable path through the wintry landscape. Here, above all, the beautiful mountain scenery becomes a highlight for the winter hiker.   

This tour is one of the "easier" ski tours in the Mazia valley. Especially in drifting snow, however, this tour should not be underestimated. But it is always worthwhile: at the end of the steep summit slope you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view.

This ski tour is one of the most popular in the Upper Vinschgau and offers powdery firn snow until late spring. Around the striking border mountain you can enjoy the view over an overwhelming high mountain landscape.

This ski tour is a classic on the southern ridge between the Auerbergtal valley and the Einertal valley. The Ilmenspitze peak in the Ultental valley is located at the rear of the Auerbergtal valley. The ascent is through a relatively thick forest. Directly after the forest boundary, a magnificent high plateau emerges with the mountain hut Seefeldalm. The summit slope is the only really steep part of the Ilmenspitze. Nevertheless, this ski tour should only be undertaken during safe avalanche conditions. The view, especially directly towards the mighty Brenta range, is overwhelming. When the summit slope is covered in ‘firn’ snow, one can definitely enjoy powder snow on the northern slopes.
