A high alpine tour traverses mostly the slopes of the Stubai ski resort, with an ending through couloir and a short summit slope. Amazing views of the Stubai alps.
The route
We start from the parking lot at Mutterbergalm. Follow the ski slopes up towards Dresdner Hütte. From there follow the ski slope number 3 towards Gamsgarten and eventually the bottom station of the Daunjoch ski lift. Continue under the Daunjoch cable car up towards the top station and from the across a short slope towards the Daunjoch saddle.
From the Daunjoch, depending on conditions, either ascend directly over the steep south flank to the summit (often on foot — the safest option) or continue on skis further north, traversing through a hollow, and approach the summit from the west on skis (caution: this route involves crossing a short, steep slope prone to slab avalanches!).
Descent
Either same as ascent. You can also follow a wide bowl a bit south of the Daunjoch cable car and traverse out to the ski slopes higher up.
