Muttenkopf (2,638 m)

Route length: 6.5 km
Duration: 4:00 h

Scenically a very beautiful ski tour with slopes covered in powder snow. The trail to the Muttenjoch is long, but also suitable for beginners. The best place for a break is a small wooden hut below the Muttenjoch. From the Joch to the summit, however, it requires a secure hairpin technique. The summit area is also frequently blown off.

From the starting point, walk along a forest path to Waldbauer and there follow the path to the right up to Kastnerbergalm. A little further on, at the signpost, turn left over open terrain and continue straight up past a wayside shrine (2002 m) to the Muttenjoch. From there, turn left over a steep and mostly harsh slope to the summit cross.
