Enjoyable ski tour from Hochfügen to Sonntagsköpfl

Enjoy the tranquility of nature on your ski tour from Hochfügen to Sonntagsköpfl

The starting point for the ski tour is the northern side of the Hochfügen ski area parking lot at 1,474 meters.

A forest road with a cross-country ski trail begins there, parallel to the main road (to the west) (sign: "Loassattel - Schwaz"). On this forest road, you initially head north into the forest, following the trails. Then you cross the Marchbach stream and, after a walk of approximately 20 minutes (from the parking lot), turn left into the forest. You continue in a southwesterly direction, where you cross a short, steep stretch of forest before reaching open slopes.

The route continues over beautiful ski terrain, which becomes increasingly steep, up to a hilltop. After overcoming the steep section, you can already see the summit of the Sonntagsköpfl in the distance. The terrain now becomes almost flat. Afterwards, keep more to the right (west) and climb over small hilltops and hollows to a ridge. Behind this is a narrow hollow, which you eventually follow to the left (southwest) up to the summit.



Descent options:

1. Descent as on the ascent

2. From the summit, head directly north, descending over steeply undulating slopes. Before reaching the deep ravine of the Maschentalbach stream, keep right (northeast) and swing down to a small, narrow bridge. Beyond the stream, you now have to climb a few meters to a pasture fence (continuing straight ahead would lead you into dense undergrowth) and then descend diagonally along the fence to the forest road (cross-country ski trail) below the Maschentalalm, which is already visible. You can then ski back to the starting point.

3. From the summit, ski along the ridge that runs from the Gilfert to the Sonntagsköpfl, into a large, steep hollow below the rocky Gilfert. You descend briefly across this slope. Before the slope opens into a ravine, traverse a narrow terrace to the right (south), rising slightly to a shoulder. Continue over the steep and unobstructed southeast slopes south of a streambed to the Lamarkalm Niederleger (1613 m). From there, descend to the nearby ski slope and follow this back to the starting point.
