Ankogel cable car - Grüneckerseespitze

At the mountain station of the Ankogel cable car above around the cable car station and in a long traverse along the slope, above the drag lifts, up to the Luggetörl, which is reached by a short ascent. On the other side, initially steep downhill into the cirque of the "Lugge". Here there are several options: Those who want to reach the Grüneckerseespitze with as little altitude loss as possible first traverse slightly ascending below the summit structure of the Schönbretterspitze and finally descend about 100 meters in altitude into the gully descending from the Kleiner Tauernsee.
However, we recommend skiing down from the Luggetörl to about 2100 meters - the slightly longer ascent is richly rewarded with a beautiful descent!
Now it is definitely time to put on skins! First, somewhat to the left of the mentioned gully upwards towards Korntauern. Above the Kleiner Tauernsee (approximately where the Tauern high route runs in summer) in an almost horizontal left traverse out onto the ridge descending from the Grüneckerseespitze. On or to the left of this ridge in several switchbacks to the summit.

The descent is possible with good conditions in steep terrain just to the left (in the direction of descent) of this ridge, the wide cirque of the "Vordere Lugge" offers numerous beautiful descent options until the Ankogel valley descent is finally reached!

Depending on the variant, a moderately steep to steep route, requiring safe conditions. Due to the location directly on the main Tauern ridge, special attention must be paid to wind-drifted snow!
With firn conditions, which often occur quite early here, a wonderful alternative to the better-known north-facing steep descents (Radeckscharte, Ebeneckscharte).
