High mountain route (not a hike!): Ascent from the Kölner Haus via Lower Glockhäuser to the Urgjoch (2,759 m). Continue to the Kübelgrubenscharte (2,770 m) - caution: steep snowfields that need to be crossed can remain here until summer - and up to the Rotpleiskopf (2,936 m). The descent leads over the north ridge to the Spinnscharte (2,681 m). Past the Upper Spinnsee (2,542 m) it goes down into the Urgtal (approx. 2,200 m). Then you have to climb again to the Brunnenjoch (2,579 m). The descent to the Kölner Haus completes the long route.

The section from Urgjoch to the Kübelgrubenscharte usually still has large, steep snowfields that need to be crossed until late into the summer. Occasionally the climb into the Kübelgrubenscharte is blocked by snow cornices. Take an ice axe!Roadbook
