Beautiful ski tour in the Sölktäler and Kleinsölk.

An impressive view over the Sölktäler awaits you on the Karlspitz: the tour to the summit first leads into the Bröckelgraben, then southwards and finally steeply up through the forest to the Bröckelalm at 1,670 m. Here you keep to the left to continue in hairpin bends up towards the saddle and to the right to the summit.
