Directions

From the Stouhütte, follow the summer trail to the Joahannsenruhe (~1250m). After the Johannsenruhe, the trail climbs somewhat steeper on the right (western) edge of the valley. At around 1400m above sea level, you reach the treeless terrain of the Hochstuhlkar. There you turn south and climb higher under the walls of the Hochstuhl before keeping slightly to the right to avoid the blocking rocks (Grüne Ries). At around 1900m above sea level, you reach a steep gully, via which the ski mountaineer reaches the ridge (crampons required). From the ridge, climb over the western shoulder to the summit of the Hochstuhl.

Safety instructions

Safe skiing technique is required for this ascent variant. After heavy fresh snowfall, you should avoid the Hochstuhlkar, as large avalanches can be released from the north faces.

Equipment

Avalanche transceiver, probe, avalanche shovel, crampons

Tips

The Hochstuhl is a classic spring tour. After snowy winters, this tour can sometimes still be completed at the end of April. By then, however, it is usually possible to drive further up into the Bärental valley to the summer parking lot below the Joahnnsenruhe.
