Spektakuläre Variante vom Ausstieg Madloch hoch über die Hänge von Zürs. Sichere Verhältnisse sind allerdings eine Grundvoraussetzung.

The freeride descent through the Dammkar high above Mittenwald is one of the classics. The Karwendel cable car provides comfortable access to one of the most beautiful off-piste areas in the Alps.

Die "Antenne", wie der Run unter Lokals auch genannt wird, ist eine sehr gute Alternative wenn viele Standardvarianten bereits verspurt sind und man sich nicht scheut ein wenig zu hiken. Diese sportliche Variante sollte nur gefahren werden, wenn die Verhältnisse dies auch zulassen, da man sich im unteren Bereich in relativ steiles Gelände mit ungünstigen Einzugsgebieten befindet.

Die Dachsteinüberquerung mit Skiern ist ein landschaftlich großartiges Erlebnis und daher bei entsprechender Wetterlage nur zu empfehlen. Die Pistenspur ist meist ab Februar von der Bergstation der Dachsteinseilbahn bis zum Krippenstein gezogen.
