Details

Description

From the Swiss side, the Grosser Drusenturm is a pure climbing peak with an impressive south wall of nearly 500 m height. From the north, however, the summit can also be reached on skis through the Sporertobel (30 - 35° over 300 m), provided conditions are safe. The route goes from St. Antönien Rüti (1460 m asl) via Partnun up to the Carschinahütte SAC (2230 m asl). From the Carschinafurgga, one crosses the north slopes of the Zypärliberg to the Drusator (2341 m asl). After a short descent past the customs hut to point 2170, you ascend westward to the Sporasattel (approx. 2450 m asl), south of the Sporaturm. Up through the Sporertobel (30 - 35° over 300 m) past the Mittlerer Turm (2782 m asl) to the summit of the Grosser Turm (2830 m asl). The Grosser, Mittlerer, and Kleiner Drusenturm are summarized on the map under the term "Dri Türm". The descent follows the ascent track area or alternatively via the Lindauer huts to Tschagguns (A).
