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.

At the end of the valley, once you have negotiated the steep slope you will be on flat ground again.
