Access with shuttle bus from St. Jakob in the Pfitschtal to the Pfitscherjochhaus (2275m).

Interesting mountain hike on a narrow mountain path to the Rotbachlspitze. This mountain is a geological curiosity with a colorful summit structure. Stunning view of the north faces of the Zillertal Alps.

Descent same as ascent and stopover at the Pfitscherjochhaus.

Author’s recommendation

The summit area is a colorful geological wonder.
