When traveling through the Loisach valley towards the Wetterstein range, the eyes of true steep wall enthusiasts inevitably fix on the unmistakable Alpspitz north face. Its descent is a ski mountaineering masterpiece that requires alpine experience and top ski technique, as well as optimal snow conditions.

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

This ski tour to the Hoher Fricken (1940 m) offers us a long ascent, but at the summit, a magnificent view rewards our efforts. Under suitable conditions, a dreamlike descent awaits us.

Since the ski runs were closed some time ago, the Wank is once again suitable as a "proper" touring mountain and is also suitable for late risers who appreciate a place to stop for refreshments.

Tolle Tour, lang und anstrengend, aber sehr schön. Im Frühjahr am besten noch in der Dunkelheit losgehen, da sonst der Schnee oben weich und schwer wird.

Super Tour! Der Aufstieg durchs Skigebiet ab Hausbergbahn ist nicht wirklich lohnend aber eine sportliche Herausforderung. Achtung bei der Abfahrt. Die gezeigte Route führt durch ein Wildschongebiet. Schneebedingungen sind zur Zeit ziemlich gut.
