    Beautiful high mountain route (not a hike!) to a scenic 3,000 m summit: with views of Bernina, Ortler, Ötztaler, Kaunergrat, and Zugspitze. The ascent via the north ridge involves easy climbing (I-II) over block ridges and a few fixed ropes. The descent via the normal route is easier.

    Via path 21 / 702 to Furglersee and further to the Furglerjoch (2,748 m). From there path 21 over the north ridge to the summit. Descent via path 25 to Scheid (2,429 m) and further into the Lausbachtal. The Kölner Haus can be reached from Serfaus via the Komperdellbahn (8:30 am–5:00 pm). Alternatively, the descent can be shortened by taking the Lazidbahn (runs only until 4:30 pm!).

    Author’s map recommendations

    The hiking map from TVB Serfaus 1:25,000 is the best map of the area. It is available at the tourist information (Gänsackerweg 2, Serfaus) or at the Kölner Haus. The maps from Kompass (42), Freytag & Berndt (WK372), and Austrian map (Sheet 144) are only available at a scale of 1:50,000.
