A shorter skitour on the lookout Keeskogel provides a fantastic panorama of the whole area of the main alpine ridge. Hohe Tauern at your fingertips - Grossvenediger, Grosser Geiger and Schlieferspitze. Final exposed ridge climbing requires little skill, dificulty I to II. UIAA. Much depends on snow conditions.

Relatively demanding glacier ski tour on 3289 m Schlieferspitze leads glacial terrain. To stay on Kürsinger Hut fits is Schlieferspitze ideal tour for the last day. After ascent to descent the eastern slopes and valleys Sulzbachtal the parking lot. When staying overnight at Postalm is actually the only option for the ascent.

Grossvenediger is significant, pyramidal peak, the fourth highest mountain in Austria in in the centre of glaciated mountains in the mountain group Venedigergruppe in the Hohe Tauern. Ski tour from Kürsinger Hütte leads almost all the glaciers, over the saddle Venedigerscharte. In the finish is a short walk from the skidepot and with the crampons and axe comes with an easy ridge to the summit.

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.

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.
