Snowshoe
Feilalm – Feilkopf Peak

Trailhead of this enjoyable snowshoe walk is the Karwendeltäler Car Park at the Nordic Ski Center in Pertisau. Follow the road westwards into Gerntal Valley until you reach Tunigenwiese (elev. 991m; marked by a signpost). Here, turn to the northeast and walk along a flat section along the hiking path (signposted) before a switchback brings you to Feilalm Alpine Pasture Hut (elev. 1,372m). The first section of the approach to the summit leads in a loop around the homes, then along a wide trail until the path divides (elev. 1,523m, signposted) and leads from the west along a wide ridge up to the peak itself, which is marked with a large cross (elev. 1,562m). The descent is to the east. Descend through the steep open meadow down to the trail you used during the ascent, before continuing down to Feilalm Alpine Pasture Hut and along the hiking path into Gerntal Valley (car park, elev. 1,084m). At the crossroads, first head north to the banks of the creek (signposted) and then south-east out of the valley to Pletzachalm Alpine Pasture Hut (elev. 1,040m). The loop brings you back to the trailhead past Pletzachalm-Sennhütte Hut and along "Unterseebergsteig" trail.
