From the Martin Busch hütte to the Hochjoch-Hospiz, this traverse is beautiful and really enjoyable. Not too much elevation, no steep terrains but a beautiful ridge to summit the Fineilpsitze which makes the day perfect !

Description
We took the normal route up the summit, which require alpine skills to be climbed. We also skied down the east face, really nice turn up there but exposed terrain.
Difficulty
Difficult
Serious gradient of 30-38 degrees where a real risk of slipping exists.
Low Exposure (E1)
Exposure is limited to that of the slope itself. Getting hurt is still likely if the slope is steep and/or the snow is hard.
Remoteness
Away from help but easily accessed.
