Spring has arrived in Munich and at short notice, Arno and I agreed to do a ski tour. Unfortunately, it was motorsport this time (the train to Ellmau takes 2.30 h) and we left Munich at 7.30 h summer time to arrive at 9 h at the Wochenbrunner alm up the hill from Ellmau. Together with many other Munich folk, we ascended the Kübelkar on hard snow as temperatures were below zero at night.
Soon we hit the sunlit slopes that started to soften. The snow was yellowish due to dust from the Sahara, which had arrived a week ago.
Unsurprisingly, many folk had the same idea.
Here the stunning "vordere Karlsspitze" above Arno.
We arrived on the bealach with the Fleischbank on the left. It looks less impressive than it is from here, as it falls away steeply from the bottom.
We decided to ascent the hingere Goinger Halt and skied up on icy slopes to the ski depot. I was happy about my harscheisen... (once I had them on!)
Here is Arno approaching the hintere Goinger Halt.
The Goinger Halt summit is exposed and several hundreds metre below, skiers ascended the Griesnerkar from the North. Here is the summit sign...
