Valluga North
Backcountry Skiing Route
Details
6.21 km
240 m
The classic North Face Valluga.
The classic north face starts right behind the peak. You have to keep skiers left to reach a prominent ridge which spits you out eventually into Pazieltal (boarders disadvantaged, the traverse out is a little tedious).
With a guide, they take you up with skis with Valluga II. If you are without a guide, you have to earn it & climbing up west, then along the ridge. The ascent take 30-40 minutes depending on how deep the snow.
Then take a short traverse back in to reach the north slope. The first patch of the Valluga North is exposed with a cliff below. The rumour has it that they closed the second part for non-guide accompanied skiers due to accidents. Prior to the opening of the Flexen Gondola this (and Valluga West) used to be the way to get over to Lech/Zuers.
After the first patch you have a variety of options to go through the Pazieltal.
