When travelling through the Loisachtal valley towards the Wetterstein mountains, the eyes of true steep face enthusiasts inevitably linger on the unmissable Alspitz north face. Climbing it is a ski mountaineering masterpiece which, in addition to alpine experience and the best skiing technique, naturally requires optimum snow conditions.

The ascent on the summer trail is steep and arduous but short. It is often used by pedestrians, which is why this route is often icy. Otherwise, the tour is easy. If the conditions are not good or there is little snow, it is better to ascend along the described downhill route (on the ski piste).

This ski tour to the Hohe Fricken (1940 m) is a long ascent, but at the summit we are rewarded for our efforts by a magnificent view. If the conditions are right, a fantastic descent awaits us.

After the slopes were closed down some time ago, the Wank is once again a "proper" touring mountain and is also suitable for late risers who are happy to have a place to stop for refreshments.
