Hike up to Hafelekarspitze and pick ski down the obvious couloir on the backside - just passing the cross - down to the bottom of Gleirschzaehne (no need to try to pronounce it - Zaehne means teeth, the rock looks like it). Put on the skins to skin up to Mandelscharte. From here, via Arzler Scharte all the way down to Hungerburg.

There is Alternatives from Mandelscharte over to Halltal if you fancy a classic crossing of Karwendel...
