Rauchkofel

A ski tour to the Rauchkofel is the spring classic in the Carnic Alps. After snowy winters, this tour can also be done in early May.

Suggestie

In high winter, the ascent to the Wodnertörl (2059m) can be made from the Upper Valentine Alp to the north-west. This variant is shorter and, especially in high winter, sunnier than the dark high valley in the direction of Valentintörl.From the Rauchkofel you can also descend westwards over beautiful slopes to the so-called Angerle (~1800m), but then you have to climb back over the Wolayer See (1958m) to the Valentintörl to reach the starting point of the Untere Valentinalm. This variant is very rewarding if the snow conditions are suitable!

Uitrusting

Routebeschrijving

From the Plöckenpass road, first follow the road to the Untere Valentinalm and then continue in the direction of the Obere Valentinalm. After the Untere Valentinalm, take the forest path and shorten the summer climb over the so-called Schlangenbichl. At the Obere Valentinalm you reach open terrain and then hike southwest under the imposing north walls of the cellar peaks into the high valley. Following the course of the valley you finally reach the Valentintörl. There you turn north (right) and reach the Rauchkofelboden 2238m through a steep ascent (ski ev. tragen) and now ascend via the south flank to the western summit. The eastern summit (summit cross) is rarely climbed, because the summit flank is very steep. This requires a winter with above-average snowfall.
