Very nice ski tour in varied terrain. The descent options are almost limitless and can be easily viewed from the Hobiel chairlift up. If the ski lifts aren't running, it will be a longer but relatively quiet tour.

Route description

Skitunnel Hostock – Roti Blatte – Unnerbäch – Ski depot
From the Hostock ski tunnel (approx. 3100 m) descend the ski slope down to Roti Blatte (approx. 2760 m). From here, traverse south-west across Unnerbäch ascending gradually. The terrain can be confusing. Pass the rocky SE-spur then arc round onto the south-facing summit slope. Ascend the slope (last bit is 38 ° for 160 m!) to a ski depot just beneath the summit rocks.
Ski depot – Summit
Easy climbing on foot leads to the summit with its wooden cross (10 mins).
Descent via Unnerbäch and Chelchbach
Multiple downhill options in perfect ski terrain. Only the rock step east of «Tal» is difficult to see in descent. Avoid it by steering either definitively north of P. 2656, or stay high, skier's right, aiming just beneath foot of the SE spur of Grisighorn (SW of P. 2381).

Crux

On the descent, judging the steepness and choosing the right line down into the valley is not always easy.

Remarks

Good in combination with the Belgrat.

Neighbor summit

Belgrat (3323 m)

A great combintion is to ascend first to Belgrat, descend to Unnerbäch, then continue to Gänderorn.
