Klosterwappen (Schneeberg) - Kaiserstein- Breite Reis

Ascent

3 possible ways:

• Fadensteig See description] Fastest, skis must be carried in the steep/rocky part, can be icy (bring Crampons)

• Fadenweg and Wurzengraben See description] No need to take the skis off, never very steep, but longer.

• Up through the Breite Reis See Descent, but other way around…

Descent

From Kaiserstein, head N on the plateau, the first couloir straight to the right (E) is the Privatries (up to 45°), the start of Breite Reis is about 150m further on the plateau (Wooden poles indicate it). The start is heading SE at around 36°, then it gets wider, turns E and less steep at around 33° for about 400m.

Around 1300m, head to the left side (N) at the start of the woods, where there is a signpost. Head down E following the summer path for about 200m, and join the forest road going N to Losenheim, just above the start of the chairlift

Breite means “wide” in German Very popular in the late winter / early spring, but as it is wide in the lower part, there’s lots of room.
