Westliche Simonyspitze is a great alpine ski tour with a view of the Dreiherrnspitze. First, it rises to Reggentörl. Short downhill and follow the Umbalkees Glacier up. The ascent to the top is usually without skis. Downhill is great especially for firn.

Favorite ski tour from Essener-Rostocker Hütte. Climbing the Grosser Geiger from the south leads along the Maurerkees glacier. At 2650 meters, the route turns north-westward and heads a rather steep slope towards the flat upper glacier. There is skidepo under the top pyramid. On the top of the undemanding terrain in crampons and ice axe. Follow the same route to hut.

Mittlere Malmhalmspitze is a Skitour known for its excellent downhill ride, which can be extended to the Virgental Valley. A shorter yet physically demanding tour. From the Essener-Rostocker Hütte first south towards Maurer Alm and then west to the Nördlliches Malhamkees glacier. Cross the slope "Böse Wand" to the top.

The Dreiherrnspitze is a spectacular, complex and challenging glacier ski tour. Especially difficult is its length, glacial cracks and terrain break at the end. First, it is easy to climb glacier the Südl. Malhamkees to Regentörl saddle. After a short downhill northwards to the Umbalkees Glacier, the traverse between the cracks and then to the Althauskees. Relatively steep slope to difficult terrain break (depending on snow conditions). After overcoming it, there is only 200 high meters in easy terrain. Downhill same track as ascent.
