Hallo. Gibt es einen Weg zur Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte, welcher im Sommer idealerweise ohne Gletscherausrüstung (also Seilschaft, Eispickel) begangen werden kann? Steigeisen bzw. Grödel sind vorhanden. Haben als 4er Wandergruppe auch schon mehrere Jahre Erfahrung im hochalpinen Gelände. Haben auch keine Ambitionen weiter auf dem Weg zum Gipfel des Großglockners zu gehen. Vielen Dank
