Olympiabahn Map

From the Hoadlhaus restaurant (2340 metres) ski under the very top section of the Olympiabahn train and onto the Nordwand face. Ski down just to the left of the train tracks to reach the top of a rocky ridge and then make a descending traverse below and left of this, aiming for a small vague col underneath the train tracks. The traverse can often be rocky so go slowly! Once over the col ski down a lovely little gully to the right of the tracks for 50 metres until it opens up into a wide, mellow powder field. Below this, branch off right and follow a series of open slopes back down to the foot of the Olympiabahn.
