Description

We start our ski tour at the Kneipp facility or the Ebenau car park in Aschau, from where we head towards Klooalm in Oberen Grund for about 1.7 km into the valley. The turnoff on the right-hand side to Hirzeggalm and Spießnägeln is well signposted and hard to miss. We climb up to Hirzeggalm via a few hairpin bends, and from there we follow the summer trail directly to the summit of Spießnägeln.
