Ski Touring Extreme
This tour is long but worth it. The start from Vent is easy, as usual you go up a long valley on a forest road. Arrived below the Martin Busch hütte you start the real tour, with an impressive view on the Similaun north-east face. The glacier is easy to go up. Then you finally see the big and icy (not always) north face of the Hintere Schwärze. This face is really known around here, and you understand why when you see it ! We went up the normal way, which is not too difficult but requires alpine climb skills for the last part on the ridge. We were lucky to be able to ski it that early in the season (february) normally you have to wait at least May. That made this day really nice !
