Pollesfernerkopf from the Braunschweigerhütte via the Pitztaler Jöchl

From the Braunschweigerhütte at 2,759 m on the E5 long-distance trail towards Pitztaler Jöchl at 2,996 m. Shortly after the saddle is the first key point, here you have to descend over a steep snowfield. Depending on conditions, spikes are recommended here. After the snowfield, descend towards the glacier cable car parking lot. From an altitude of 2,873 m, cross without a path heading north upward to the marked ascent leading to the saddle at 2,961 m between the southern and northern Polles Kogel. Ascend this path up to the rocks. From here, very steep with fixed ropes up to the saddle at 2,961 m. After the saddle, cross along the west side of the Northern Polles Kogel and reach the northwest ridge. Here descend a bit and then continue straight to Pollesfernerkopf at 3,015 m (the summit is not marked on the Alpine Club map).

Descent:
From the summit, a short return and then continue on the path towards the Northern Polles Joch (Mainzer Höhenweg). Shortly before the saddle, the path branches off towards the Braunschweigerhütte. Here descend on a narrow path and go beneath the Polles Kogel to a snowfield. Over this ascending until reaching the fixed ropes. Ascend steeply and continue up to point 2,966 m. Then you reach again the ascent route, follow it back to the hut.
