The varied tour does not require deep snow skills, because you ski on the slopes of the Krinnen lifts. A stop at the Krinnenalpe is worthwhile.

From the Haldensee to the Krinnenspitze by Sandra

Im Aufstieg Karawanen auf die Sulzspitze. Ab der Abzweigung dann Alleingang. Wunderschön. Schattig, was aber für längere Gute Bedingungen spricht. Der Gipfelanstieg war dann ziemlich abgeblasen, aber gute Spur vorhanden. Am Gipfel war dann doch was los, da die meisten über die Piste aufsteigen. Zum Abfahren findet man schon ne Möglichkeit, ohne seine Ski zu ruinieren. Allerdings würde ich nicht über die Aufstiegspur Abfahren, sondern dann auf die Piste queren. Der Aufstieg durch den Wald ist doch sehr schmal und hat nicht unbedingt Spaßfaktor. Am Haldensee kann man den schneebedeckten Wanderweg/ Loipe zum Parkplatz zurückskaten
