Ski moutaineering to Hohe Wiegenspitze (from Certosa/Karthaus)

General description

Starting point: Certosa/Karthaus (1,327 m a.s.l)
Ascent: 1,653 m elevation gain, 4.5 hours
Best time: April and May

Together with the Kleinen Wiegenspitze that is situated slightly northwards, the Hohe Wiegenspitze rises between the Mastauntal and the Penaudtal valleys. Follow the trail from Certosa/Karthaus into the Penaudtal valley, as in ski tours to the Grubenspitze, the Vermoi Peak and and the Mountain Zerminiger. At mountain pasture Penaud (2,319 m a.s.l), take a right and follow the rather steep but sunny southern slope upwards to the summit. You can descend either by the same route or through the Mastauntal valley (ski tour to the Hohe Wiegenspitze from Madonna di Senales/Unser Frau).

For practised skiers.
