Fernerköpfl

From the Reintal road just before the valley floor of Rein (1,525 m; parking lot) follow the signpost "Rieserferner hut" and marker 3 along the Erlanger path through the forest up to the Outer Gelttal Alm, shortly further to the eponymous Inner Alm (2,070 m), and on the gradually steepening path mostly over boulder fields up to the Rieserferner hut (2,800 m; summer operation; 3 ½ hours from Reintal road). From the shelter, then follow the red-white markings and cairns northwards mostly on trails over boulder fields, nearly level under the Gelttalspitze (at the fork of the marked routes do not go left upwards but stay right) into a sometimes snow-filled hollow and finally on the still marked route on the south slope of the Fernerköpfl over boulder fields easily up to the summit (3,251 m; 1 ½ hours from the hut). Descent: via the described ascent route.
