Description

From the Högger ski touring car park (approx. 1,550 m) in Innervillgraten, take the forest path via the Einattal valley, taking several shortcuts into the valley heading north, past the Taletalm and Schmidhoferalm to the Hochgrabe junction (signpost) before the Sandkammer (2,096 m). Cross the stream here over a small bridge to the right and ascend over the wide slopes to the south-east, initially flat and later somewhat steeper, to Nöckl and Kesseberg.

Descent: Same as ascent.

Characteristics: Compared to other ski tours in the Einattal, the Kesseberg and Nöckl are less frequented. The descent over the wide slopes towards Einattal offers many possibilities in scenically magnificent terrain, also with an ideal slope gradient for skiing terrain.
