Ascent to the Nöderschartl
Duration
Tagestour, 08:00 – 14:30 Uhr
Ski Tour Weißseespitze
With state-certified ski guide
Ski tour Weißseespitze with ski guide. At 3526 metres, the Weißseespitze a striking peak in the Ötztal main ridge. The favourable ratio of ascent and descent appears to be particularly attractive for the high altitude ski tour on the Weißseespitze. If you choose the approach via the Kaunertal glacier ski area and the descent via the glacier tongue, 800 metres of ascent are offset by around 1500 metres of downhill pleasure.
Ski tour Weißseespitze with ski guide
The ski tour to the Weißseespitze beginnt am Parkplatz des Gletscherskigebiets. Von dort steigen wir rund 200 Höhenmeter zum Nöderschartl auf. Auf der Scharte schnallen wir die Ski an den Rucksack und folgen dem etwas ausgesetzen Grat in Richtung „Zahn“. Das Gehen mit Ski am Rucksack erfordert einiges an Kondition! Danach gehen wir weiter mit Ski und erreichen unschwierig über den Gepatschferner den Gipfel der Weißseespitze. Die folgende Abfahrt über die Gletscherzunge bis zum Fernergries gehört zu den landschaftlichen großartigsten und längsten Abfahrten der Region.

Requirements
For the ski tour on the Weißseespitze you should already have solid ski touring experience.
You should be able to ski in parallel in changing snow types off-piste. You have enough stamina for five to six hours and 800 metres of ascent, partly with skis on your backpack. Please note that we are in glaciated terrain at over 3,000 metres. You should therefore definitely do a few preparation tours during the winter.
You don't have to have high altitude/glacier experience, but you should be free from giddiness.
