Ski tour on the Wank
The starting point of the ski tour near Garmisch-Partenkirchen is the parking lot at the waterworks above the valley station of the Wankbahn cable car. From the Explorer Hotel in Farchant, it's just a few minutes' drive away.
First, you follow a wide forest road towards the Esterbergalm. Past the small Dax Chapel, the route now leads to the Frauenmahdsattel (1279 m).
The route now continues flatly into the wide valley basin of the Esterbergalm. Shortly before the alpine pasture, turn right up the northern slopes to the Rosswank. Now follow the ridge until you finally reach the summit of the Wank.
Refreshment options on the Wank
The Esterbergalm is open year-round, and the Wank-Haus also invites you to stop by and warm up.
The descent then takes you along the northern slopes of the former ski slope.
