Wirt - St. Christoph Map

This route is a great alternative from our Peischelkopf route: https://fatmap.com/routeid/2738569/peischelkopf?fmid=cp

Description

Instead of dropping at Peischelkopf, you stay short of reaching the peak of Peischelkopf and ski passing Wirt (short second ascent). This gives you access to a beautiful run facing west.

At some stage drop left, the standard run takes you just below St. Christoph, at the end of a road gallery. There is a trail next to it, walk up into the village from here to re-enter into the resort. You can also ski down all the way to Wagner Huette which has a bus stop. The bus intervals are long though, taxi might be a better option back to St. Anton in this case. Fun run.
