Beautiful, easy and consistently safe ski tour with descent via former ski slope - particularly suitable for beginners! Almost always possible due to the route and especially beautiful on clear full moon nights ... and all this combined with a hearty stop at the Sattelbergalm with the hut owner Luis.
Starting point is the valley station of the former Sattelberg cable cars. First a short ascent on the former piste, past the Larcherhof. Then keep to the right and walk through the beautiful forest or on the piste to the former Sattelberg middle station (1,630 m). On the left is the rustic Sattelbergalm, which invites you to take a break. Continue left at the middle station on a path to the signpost "Sattelbergspitze", then right on a forest path up through the forest until you reach a fence (border with Italy). Approximately follow the fence and shortly before the summit swing out to the right and climb the Sattelbergspitze. Alternatively, you can also ascend to the summit via the slopes.
Descend via the former slopes.
By train (S4, S3) to Steinach a. Brenner and then by bus 4145 in the direction of Obernberg on to Gries a. Brenner until the Gh Sprenger stop. From there approx. 200 m to the former ski slope of the Sattelbergalm.
