Dear Hiking Community,

This route is for those who wish to embark on a winter mountain ridge walk in the Karwendel mountain range, specifically covering the Nördliche Linderspitze (2372 m), Mittlere Linderspitze (2239 m), Südliche Linderspitze (2304 m), and Westliche Karwendelspitze (2385 m). The trek promises an awe-inspiring adventure but demands a profound understanding of the risks involved. NO BEGINNERS, Alpine Experience required.

The stark beauty of these peaks is accentuated by the winter landscape, offering panoramic views of snow-covered expanses. However, undertaking this journey requires a heightened awareness of the challenges. Winter conditions bring a substantial risk of encountering deep snow, icy terrain, and gusty winds along the exposed ridge. (Most of the time, the fixed ropes would be buried deep within).

Navigating this path demands a certain level of expertise in winter mountain trekking. The weather, especially in November, can be highly unpredictable. The region experiences around 11 days of rain on average during this month, and the combination of rain and snow can significantly affect trail conditions. The landscape transforms rapidly, and a clear day can turn into a whiteout, impairing visibility. Do not venture off trial (especially if it's windy or foggy) since your footprints will be covered by snow. Most importantly, please know when to turn back. It is not advisable to complete the entire rope trial and descent via Brunsteinhutte. Take the cable car down, and for that arrive back way early if you do not wish to sleep on a deserted, freezing mountain.

Note: Cable cars are shutdown for maintenance from 6th Nov to 22nd Dec for maintenance.

Stay safe, and Enjoy the Winter Silence.
