Details

Ascent: From the Franz-Senn Hütte, head SE, up the Alpeinerferner until 2650m. Go N up the moraine and the Verborgenen Bergferner. Pass the Turmscharte (fixed ropes) and head E to the summit of Vorderer Wilder Turm.

Descent: either same way or down the Turmferner: Head E down the Turmferner, stay on the right bank, continue down the valley until around 2700m, and turn S (there should be a pole), find the narrow steep corridor (40 degrees, 2m wide for about 10-20m) through the cliffs around 2650m, continue to the moraine on top of the Alpeinerferner, ski down the moraine (lots of rocks), and then back to Franz-Senn Hütte

Big crevasses just north of Turmscharte and Vorderer Wilder Turm, do not try to skip the summit.

Fairly easy skiing, finding the small corridor through the cliffs can be tricky, but there should be one or two poles to indicate.
