    The Einachtspitze summit at the entrance of the Ridnauntal/Val Ridanna offers a short but scenic ski tour..

    Ascent: A short distance up the slope and above the houses of Entholz across meadows to the left edge of the forest to a farm building. Just behind this, take the summer path (Mark. No. 25) up through the forest to the right of the stream until you reach a forest road coming from the left. Continue along this to the right until you reach the junction with the sign "Joggelealm/Einachtspitze". Continue right along the forest road to the alpine pasture Wildenhütte (1930 m). Go straight up over open terrain, pass under a barn to the right and then left over to the already visible the alpine pasture Joggelealm (2070 m). Again, diagonally left uphill towards the northeast ridge of the Einachtspitze. Go up through a wide hollow and then in a short traverse left onto the ridge. Cross it and pass a few times a little to the left of it under a small rocky rise to the right. Shortly over a wide ridge to the summit.

    Descend: as in the ascent to the alpine pasture Wildenhütte or, if snow conditions are safe, directly over the northeast flank.

    Skiing technique: medium
