Berchtesgaden Alps | Eckerfirst (1780m) | Ski tour Purtschellerhaus

Type: Interesting

Description:
Ski tour on 03.03.17.

From parking lot left past Enzianhütte (sign Purtschellerhaus) to the start of the broad meadow slope. Stay rather in the right (western) area next to the forest edge, especially upwards to the ridge line, as further left the slope is often heavily drifted or has cornices. Reach the ridge and go flat on it to Eckeralmen. After the alm huts the slope gradually becomes steeper again. The initially broad forest clearing, finally through loose larch stand up to Purtschellerhaus, 1692 m. On the ridge towards Hoher Göll still upwards until it becomes completely narrow and almost horizontal across to the foot of the Göll flank. Informative view into the Göll east wall and to Kuchler Kamm. In high winter and spring, note the often very strong cornice formation eastward on the last ridge section, possibly skip the last bit to the highest point of Eckerfirst (1780m).
