The piste tour on the Kolbensattel became known as the first snow-covered ski touring piste in Germany. A separate snow-covered ascent track has been created at the edge of the piste for tourers.
A separate ascent track was created at the edge of the piste, which avoids conflicts and dangers between piste tourers and skiers. At one point a tunnel was specially created through which the ascent track crosses the piste.
Due to the possibility of snowmaking, snow is guaranteed. There is no danger of avalanches on the designated ascent path. The descent takes place on the ski slope.
The ascent ends at the Kolbensattelhütte. It is possible to climb up to the tooth in open terrain.
This tour was developed as part of the “environmentally friendly ski mountaineering” project German Alpine Club for the year 2015 in collaboration with local representatives (forestry, hunting and farmers).
