30HSOA-#16 #25 Weisseespitze & Hintere Hintereisspitze Map

From the Brandenburger Haus you can see the two summits of the day. You can chose in which order you want to ski them. I prefer to start with the Weisseespitze because it is the farer one. You cross the all Gepatschferner with taking care of the crevasses on your right and then easily reach the summit of the Weisseespitze. You ski down following you tracks and go to the remote and totally forgotten summit of the day, the Hinterer Hintereisspitzen. It is not that much elevation but the climb to the summit is steep and exposed. Take crampons, ice axes and a rope to secure the climb.

Description

Finally the way back to the valley is long and not easy ! Keep some energy for it !
