Spatlas von der Grivaleabahn und "Entlang der Kirche"

After the ascent with the Grivaleabahn, leave the lift to the right and cross into the flat terrain until you have left the slope area. Here you put on your skins and prepare everything for the short ascent towards the Joch.

The ascent is quite easy and does not pose a challenge in finding the way. The ascent track is to be laid out according to the steepness. Either you walk to the Joch and then cross the ridge to the right. Alternatively, you can change to the right below the yoke and walk up the flank.

Over the short ridge you reach the starting point of the descent with a wonderful panoramic view. Here they remove their skins and make all preparations for the descent.

The first descent is quite short. You start in the direction of view of the lift, but keep left on the descent and cross over so that you stay above the imposing rock bar.

After the crossing, you reach the second slope and continue towards the signpost, which appears slightly below. Now you can either turn right at night or alternatively drive into the slope one entrance later. To do this, you cross a short counter-climb of a few meters. For both variants, the route finding is then self-evident.

At the foot of the rock bar, cross to the left again into the "Spatlas" area. The rest of the descent can now be arranged according to individual wishes and preferences. You should only keep an eye on the lift, otherwise you will quickly get too deep and only come out again on the valley run towards Samnaun, which is often closed. The terrain is somewhat hilly and interspersed with streams. Especially in spring, some caution and foresight is required here, as holes can open up in the snow from time to time.
