Schöntal - Zischgeles Travers Map

The connections of both summits starts with the classic ski route from Lüsens up to Schöntalspitze. On top of Schöntalspitze you can already notice a small couloir in the north of the Schöntal located between Zischgeles and Oberstkogel which is connecting the two summits with an extra climb of about 300 vertical meters. Climb the the couloir with ski on backpack and follow the "normal route" up to Zischgeles summit. The descent from Zischgeles back to Schöntal is heating south west allong the ridge with easy climb up to grade 2.
