Gsiesertal Valley is one of the best-known and most popular valleys for ski touring in the Pustertal Valley. Numerous routes start at the head of the valley near St. Magdalena, leading into the surrounding mountains towards peaks and passes such as Hoher Mann, Rotlahner, Regelspitze, Hochkreuzspitze and Kalksteinjöchl. What makes ski touring here special becomes clear on the ascent. The routes lead through snow-covered forests and across wide alpine pastures, before opening up to views across Gsiesertal Valley and the surrounding mountains. Along some routes, you'll also find alpine huts open during winter, offering a welcome place to stop.
Choosing the right tour depends on your fitness, experience and the current conditions. Snow cover, weather and avalanche conditions must therefore be assessed afresh before every tour.
