Description
A north-east colouir of Ampferstein is a great tour for early morning, especially during workdays before work. Relatively close to the Axamer Lizum ski area gives a feeling of relative safety and easy access, while giving the opportunity for enjoying a few true mountain moments.

Difficult
Serious gradient of 30-38 degrees where a real risk of slipping exists.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
