Due to the closure of the „Fürstalm” in winter 2006, this has opened up a whole new paradise for winter sports fans. The ascent, as well as the descent into the valley on the former ski pistes guarantee a virtual avalanche-free, north-facing slopes, which can usually be used right through until late spring. Ideal for beginners.
Base: Car park at the valley station of the Fürstalm double chair lift (closed in winter).
Ascent: Cross the wooden bridge along the forest slope to the mountain station (1800 m). From here, continue along a flat path, where the slopes meet at the Almboden. Continue left to the Arbiskogel (2048 m), carry on straight ahead for the Kirchspitze (2312 m).
