You simply have to visit the Großvenediger at least once! And preferably on skis! The ascent from the Kürsinger Hut through the Venedigerscharte to the summit offers spacious slopes and breathtaking panoramic views. A fantastic, long descent across the glacier down into the valley rounds off this two-day adventure.
Meeting point Car Park P2 Blausee, 8:00
Day 1
We’ll meet at car park P2 at Blausee at 8.00 am. After a quick equipment check and an introduction, we’ll head out into the valley – either by taxi or snowcat, depending on snow conditions. From there, we’ll climb approximately 800 metres in altitude to the Kürsingerhütte. There’ll be plenty of time to pick up some tips and tricks on ski touring from your mountain guide. We’ll spend the afternoon at the hut, going through the equipment and planning tomorrow’s tour.
Day 2
Summit day! We get up early and, after a short climb, ski down to the glacier. From here, we climb approx. 1,300 metres in altitude across the glacier and over the Venediger pass to the summit.
