A rarely done ski route which combines two skiing area's that some people never thought of combining. You ski on one side of the Zugspitze against the steep mountain wall. It is very rewarding when passing the some what difficult turn of the actual border crossing. After that there are just two more climbs left until you reach the point from where you see the Ehrwalder Alm Bahn. Hopefully for you there is some fresh powder waiting for you.
