Technic Technik

In der untersten Schwierigkeitsstufe bewegst du dich an der Grenze zwischen Piste und freiem Skiraum. Du kannst mit diesem Eigenkönnen schon an meinen „Geführten Skitouren für Anfänger“ teilnehmen. Wenn du dich steigern möchtest, empfehle ich dir den Kurs „Schnupperskitouren – von der Piste ins Gelände“.

Du beherrschst den sicheren Stemmschwung in jeder Schneeart in sanftem, maximal wenig mehr als 30° geneigtem Gelände. Im Aufstieg kommen keine oder nur vereinzelte Spitzkehren vor.

In gelegentlichen Steilstücken von 30 bis 35° bereitet dir der sichere Stemmschwung keine Probleme. Für den Aufstieg benötigst du Spitzkehrentechnik.

In mäßig geneigtem Gelände schwingst du parallel, häufige Steilpassagen um 35°, gelegentlich auch mehr, schaffst du mit sicherem Stemmschwung. Im Aufstieg ist auf deine Spitzkehren Verlass. Vereinzelte Tragepassagen bis zu 40° meisterst du mit Steigeisen. Leichte Kletterstellen* (max. UIAA I–II) sind für dich gut machbar.

Du bist ein sehr guter Skifahrer und beherrschst den Stemm- oder Parallelschwung in jeder Schneeart auf einer durchschnittlichen Hangneigung von 35 bis 40°. Du bist in punkto Spitzkehrentechnik auch im exponierten Gelände sattelfest. Häufige Tragepassagen um die 40° mit Steigeisen wie auch gelegentliche Kletterstellen* (max. UIAA II) nehmen dir nicht den Mut.

*I. a. nicht obligatorisch.

In the lowest difficulty level, you move on the border between ski run and off-piste area. You can already participate in my “guided ski tours for beginners” with this own skills. If you want to improve, I recommend you the course “Skitours for Beginners – from Piste to Off-Piste”.

You mastered the safe stem turn in each type of snow in gentle, max. little more than 30 ° inclined terrain. In ascent, there are no or only occasional switchbacks.

In occasional steep sections of 30 to 35 °, the safe stem turn does not cause you any problems. For the ascent you need switchback technique.

In moderately sloping terrain you ski in parallel, frequent steep passages around 35 °, occasionally more, you can do with a safe stem turn. On the ascent your switchbacks are reliable. Occasional carrying passages up to 40 ° you overcome with crampons. Lightweight climbing sections * (max UIAA I-II) are possible for you.

You are a very good skier and master the stem or parallel turn in any type of snow on an average slope of 35 to 40 °. You are also saddle-fast in the exposed area when it comes to switchback technique. Frequent carrying passages around 40 ° with crampons as well as occasional climbing sections * (max. UIAA II) do not take the courage.

*In general not obligatory.

Es sind keine speziellen Techniken notwendig. Etwas Trittsicherheit bringst du mit.

Du beherrscht das Gehen mit Steigeisen in gelegentlichen Gletscherpassagen mit 30 bis 35° Neigung.

Auch wenn sich steile Gletscher- oder Firnpassagen von 30 bis 35° häufen, bewegst du dich sicher. Dein Technikrepertoire schließt (ab dieser Schwierigkeitsstufe) das Steigen mit Frontalzacken ein. Vereinzelte leichte Kletterstellen (max. UIAA I bis II) überwindest du zügig.

Obwohl der Großteil der Tour in steilem Gletscher- oder Firngelände von durchschnittlich 35°, manchmal auch 40° verläuft, fühlst du dich noch wohl. Mittelschwere Kletterstellen (UIAA II bis III) meisterst du ohne lange zu überlegen.

In der höchsten Schwierigkeitsstufe ist eine absolut sichere Frontalzackentechnik obligatorisch. Du musst Gletscher- oder Firnpassagen bis zu 45°, vereinzelt bis zu 50° überwinden. Du bist ein guter Felskletterer, der sich vor schwierigen Schlüsselstellen (max. UIAA III bis IV) nicht scheut.

No specific skills necessary, just the usual sure-footedness.

You are able to climb and descend with crampons on occasional glaciers of up to 30 to 35 degrees slopes.

Even in frequent 35 degrees glacier slopes you feel confident. From this degree of difficulty on you can reliably use your front points. You manage occasional easy climbing difficulties (UIAA I – II) without hesitation.

Even though most of the tour you will be exposed to steep glacier and snow slopes of 35 up to 40 degrees you are comfortable with that. You routinely manage medium climbing difficulties (UIAA II – III).

The highest level of difficulty requires superior front point technique. You will have to deal with glacier and snow slopes beyond 45 and up to 50 degrees. You are a good rock climber not hesitating to deal with difficulties of (UIAA III – IV).

Today, as a "warm-up", the 3330 m high Cima Marmotta or Köllkuppe is on the program. After more than 1100 meters of altitude over varied, moderately steep terrain we have reached its summit and enjoy the unobstructed view to the south: from the western Dolomites over the bizarre limestone peaks of the Brenta to the Adamello-Presanella group our eye roams. The direct descent on the wide Hohenferner guarantees skiing enjoyment at its best, but has a "catch": the small, exposed Marteller hut, which is located on the way; You can not help but stop here to taste one of the best South Tyrolean apple strudel.

We are now well acclimatised and today we are approaching the neighbor of the Cima Marmotta, the Cima Venezia, 3386 m. A steep climb leads us upwards and clears the way for a wide glacier that leads us to the ski depot. From there we can reach the summit on foot in a few minutes. We can choose several run options. The northern exposure and altitude of the tour guarantees powder snow until into spring.

Today we get down to business: we want to tackle the 1,500 vertical meters to the "Zufallspitze". A long way leads us to the Fürkeleferner, soon winds up steeply and brings us, finally carrying the skis on a backpack, on a flat shoulder in the east ridge of the mountain (4 hours). From there we climb (if the conditions require it) with crampons, easily along this ridge to the highest point of the Zufallspitze (1.5 to 2 hours), 3757 m. If motivation and perseverance are still sufficient, we climb in the same breath its famous neighbor, the 3769 m high Cevedale. Over an almost infinitely long pleasure run, we now trace our tracks and finally return to the Zufallhütte at Strudel di Mele and Capuccino (or Panino e Birra).

A leisurely day: we walk relaxed into the Madritschtal, climb the Pederspitze (3312 m, 3 hours) and ski down beyond, over steep northern slopes down to Solda. A cable car takes us up to the Schaubachhütte, whose visit pays off on account of the spaghetti "Aglio Olio". After this deserved stop we sit comfortably in the chairlift on the Madritschjoch (3123 m) and ski from there back down to the Zufallhütte.

6. Tag
A "round" tour at the end: a north-sided climb leads us to the rarely committed Schranspitze (3357 m, 4 hours), which clears the way for the equally lonely Gramsenferner. In a direct way, we can now ski down to our cars. In the meantime our luggage will be conveniently transported down the cable car. This is a program suggestion, which is adapted to the respective circumstances and the Eigenkönnen of the participants.
