Description

Take the gondola Trittkopf I/II.

From here, it will take about 45 minutes with skins to the Trittkopf peak.

Sometimes it is easiest to first put the skis on the pack and hike straight up, following an often broken trail along the ridge to Noerdlicher Trittkopf. Once reaching the peak, or slightly before, the terrain gets less steep.

Put your skins on and turn lookers right along the ridge towards the main peak of Trittkopf.

Be careful.

Do not go too far left since the ridge often has a huge cornice which can collapse.

The last meters to the cross can be slightly funny depending on conditions, you essentially turn left from the right, crampons can come handy at times.

The peak has a beautiful cross on the top.

The east face is actually also skiable, but it does require navigating some rocks and staying clear of the south face.

You get rewarded with a run which hardly ever sees any tracks leading into Pazieltal and merging with the tracks coming from Valluga west.

If you love the Arlberg, worth ticking the box. There are two more runs: North facing down into Pazieltal - https://fatmap.com/routeid/2736950/trittkopf and west facing through an obvious couloir: https://fatmap.com/routeid/2739420/trittkopf-bunny-hill
