We had enough time for a quick tour before driving home so we headed up to the Vordere Karlesspitze (2574 m) near the hut. The snow was definitely much worse than the previous three days and the there were sections of the dreaded ‘breakable crust’ which is a nightmare to ski. Still we had a nice little plod up to the summit and a strenuous ski back down before getting lunch at a restaurant in Oetz and then driving back to Freiburg.
