A short but pretty ski tour from the summit station of the Hohsaas gondola. In the upper part the ascent is across Hohlaubgletscher, which has shrunk considerably in past years. Despite its easy and short character, this is a high mountain ski tour which requires caution.
Route description
Hohsaas – Hohlaubtal – Lagginjoch
From the summit station of the Hohsaas gondola ski down the run to Hohlaubtal. From there ascend eastward in a wide valley towards the wide breach of Lagginjoch. Beware of the crevasses. The last 30 metres are on rocky slabs which may sometimes be hard to negotiate; using a rope can be helpful.
Variant
From Hohsaas ascend on the crest until you can traverse left to Hohlaubtal.
Descent
The descent is on the ascent to the runs; from there ski down to Saas-Grund on the runs.
