Stöttltörl ski tour (2,036 m)
921 M medium This ski tour is only suitable for experienced tourers. Prior knowledge and experience with deep snow and avalanche safety is required. The starting point is Arzkasten car park, where public parking is available. The tour covers a good 900 vertical metres on the way up to Stöttltörl. The tour should only be done in safe conditions and must be started early because the steep faces of the Grünstein become increasingly prone to avalanches as temperatures rise throughout the day. When there's enough snow in the valley, it's possible to ride down from Stöttltörl via Stöttlreise to Obermieming.

Shortly before the Lehnberghaus alpine hut, a lane heads up to the Lacke, and a wonderful view of the Inn Valley. Head along the south-west face, first level, then steeply uphill. Head through the depression or alternatively continue left along the south-east face to the summit. The descent follows the same path. This is a very popular ski tour, especially in winter and even in the spring snow.
