Start time, start mode and route history
Start between 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m., depending on the release of the slope by the local avalanche commission. The entire descent into the valley leads through high alpine terrain.
Mass start with approx. 200 m walk. Start: Albonagrat (2408 m) // Finish: Stuben Dorf (1407 m)
Transfer to the starting area. In order to ensure a smooth start and minimum waiting times up on the mountain, it is imperative that you leave the valley at least one hour before the start, i.e. at 11:00 a.m. The transfer with the lifts, incl. descents and a short walk to the start takes about 45 - 60 minutes from the marquee.
