Tour description

Signposted ski tour for slightly advanced skiers up to the Palüd section of the ski area, followed by a descent on the piste.
Description

The starting point of this tour is at the Innertal car park. From there, follow the signs uphill. At first, the tour leads over three large hairpin bends along the forest road before the tour branches off to the right. From here, the route continues uphill in open ski terrain towards Palüd Maisäß. Above the Palüd Maisäße, the route then goes through the forest for a while before joining the ski piste. The last part of the ascent is via the ski piste. Please watch out for skiers coming from above and always ascend on the far right along the piste. After stopping for refreshments at the restaurants in the Palüd section of the ski area, the descent is via ski piste no. 11 or, if there is enough snow, via ski piste no. 11 and ski route no. 11a.

Please note for the descent via the ski pistes: The ski pistes are closed daily from 17:00-08:00! Skiing on the closed pistes is prohibited without exception during this time.

Please note the avalanche report: This tour is only possible if the route is open. If the avalanche danger is too high, the tour may have to be closed. Pay attention to the avalanche report and the information boards and trail closures at the start of the route.
