Description

Start e.g.

from Längenfeld to Amberger Hütte; from Amberger Hütte take the normal route to Kuhscheibe up the slope to the west (usually many tracks from ski mountaineers), follow the main route to the summit.

From the summit, descent the first slop down to Roßkarferner either only a bit to around 3050 masl and traverse to the right (east) to the top of the couloir; or ski down as far as you want and reascent on Roßkarferner to the top of the couloir at the east end of the small glacier.

Watch out for cornices at the entry and stones in the first part.

Also the bottleneck may be rocky! There are a few other couloirs on the left (seen from above) but not so steep and shorter.
