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.

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.

Ski tour to the impressive Weisseck. In good conditions, a spectacular Ödenkar boiler descent is offered. If we don't climb to the Weisseck, the beautiful Ferskarspitze is on the way. Through the forest you reach the valley "In hell" (In der Hölle) - on one side of the rock towers, on the other side of the wall of Weisseck. Enter the Ödenkar from the upper plateau with the summit cross and watch out for snow guards and a very steep start.
