Description
A great tour to the summit of Gaiskogel (2820m) in Kühtai. The north side of the mountain is a lot less visited and a lot more technically interesting ascend route.
Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
Remoteness
Close to help in case of emergency.
