A magnificent ski tour with a marvellous crossing option with the descent via the steep Wasserfallferner into the Rotmoostal valley. From the summit there are fantastic views down to Pfelders and southwards to the Texel Group and the Dolomites. On the descent back to the hut via Langtal, marvellous firn slopes await us. A racy and challenging descent via Wasserfallferner into the Rotmoostal valley awaits us. An absolute dream descent in good conditions!

Duration:
2 days

Day 1, option 1:
Independent ascent from Obergurgl via the Schönwieshütte and the Gurgler Almhütte to the Langtalereckhütte.
The ascent begins along the ski pistes and continues on the prepared path to the Schönwieshütte. Then follow the piste groomer track marked with poles to the Langtalereckhütte.
Note: Although the trail to the hut from the Schönwieshütte is marked and often groomed, it is not secured against alpine dangers such as avalanches.
It is essential to enquire about the current conditions with us before starting!
The meeting with the mountain guide takes place for dinner at the hut.

Day 1, option 2:
We are also happy to accompany you from Obergurgl. Meeting point is at noon in Obergurgl.
Additional costs: from €250 (for up to 4 people).

Day 1, option 3:
Would you like to climb a summit on the first day?
The Hangerer is practically on the way, and crossing the Eisseekögele would also be an interesting alternative.
