Rising southwards through the valley until the trail is wider, before the plateau at the Mountain pasture Penaud (2,150 m a.s.l). Take a left here and climb along the steepening lateral valley in a south-easterly direction. Finally, continue to the summit (remove skis, if necessary) over a ridge with a number of quite difficult sections. Descend by the same route.

This ski tour is a classic on the southern ridge between the Auerbergtal valley and the Einertal valley. The Ilmenspitze peak in the Ultental valley is located at the rear of the Auerbergtal valley. The ascent is through a relatively thick forest. Directly after the forest boundary, a magnificent high plateau emerges with the mountain hut Seefeldalm. The summit slope is the only really steep part of the Ilmenspitze. Nevertheless, this ski tour should only be undertaken during safe avalanche conditions. The view, especially directly towards the mighty Brenta range, is overwhelming. When the summit slope is covered in ‘firn’ snow, one can definitely enjoy powder snow on the northern slopes.
From the parking space at the Biathlon Centre you follow the street till the Enzianhütte hut and on the snow covered street you go up to the Staller Saddle.

Starting right behind the Gasthof Bad Bergfall, follow the path Forstweg (Weg 32), first for a little while across two hairpin curves in direction west, then the path turns toward Sud, direction Langtal. From here you will reach soon a bridge that crosses the torrent on the right side. Now you can either go on on the left bank, or also cross the bridge and then turn right, so that you find yourself on the right bank. At an height of about 1700m, the ditch divides itself. Now you go up through the right side of the valley, across a declining forest. Later on the terrain will become flat again and you will be able to easily walk through a thinner forest and then reach the Jägershütte. From here the route goes on until the so-called Lapedurscharte (2200m). From here there is an uphill toward the Dreifingerspitze. From the crossroad you have to take the left for a light decline in order to reach, through a mild hill, the peak (2417 m).
