The ski tour to Oberbachernspitze is extremely interesting. From the Fischleintal valley, Talschlusshütte is heading for the wild valley of Rio Fiscalino. Under the monumental mountain Zwölferkogel turn right and climb a narrow gutter to the west. Further progress through the rugged terrain, to the right is the Zsigmondy Hütte. Continue to the right, northwest. The final passage through the steeper slope is not demanding on orientation. From the top a wonderful view to Tre Cime.

The most eastern 3000 peak of the Sexten Alps, a great yet challenging ski tour. In the second half of the tour are steep slopes, over 35 °. A great view of Tre Cime from an unusual angle.
