A great tour option for unfavourable avalanche conditions or for people starting out with skimo. Egger Berg allows you to have a chill backcountry experience with very little risk.

The route

The Eggerberg is located in the Stubai Alps in the touring area of Obernberg am Brenner. A beautiful tour across meadows and through sparse forests in the Obernberg Valley. This ski tour is most beautiful after fresh snowfalls. There is a great view from the summit of the numerous surrounding tour destinations in the Brenner area. Other ascent routes also lead from Nösslach to the summit.

We start cross the bridge directly opposite the church and diagonally across farmers’ meadows uphill. Shortly after, straight through a wide clearing towards north-west to the edge of the forest. We continue briefly through a section of forest to the next open meadows. We switch slightly northwards to a farm, and to the left of it again towards north-west to the forest edge. Through somewhat denser forest, crossing a forest road twice, always in the north-western direction.

Later, flatter through a sparse forest into the expansive bowl beneath the Eggerberg (2280 m) itselft. In this bowl, briefly towards Eggerjoch and in a wide right curve around the steeper part of the face. In the end a steeper bit to the summit of Egger Berg.
