Arzler Scharte Map

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.
