    The approach via the Goetheweg is scenic and very comfortable thanks to the cable car lift. The airy west ridge on the Rumerspitze offers experienced mountaineers with a head for heights an easy climbing tour to a summit with a fantastic view.

    Author’s recommendation

    If you do without cable car support, you can get from the car park via the Arzleralm to the Rumeralm, from here on into the trench at the lower end of the huge gravel route and through this in numerous hairpin bends up to the Arzlerscharte.

    Safety information

    Only for mountaineers with a head for heights and sure-footedness and climbing experience.

    Rope protection necessary for children. However, this requires a lot of experience from the guide, as there are no fixed points for belaying.

    Tips and suggestions

    Depending on the weather, the Pfeishütte is open from the beginning of June to mid-October

    Roadbook

    From the Hafelekar mountain station (2269 m), we follow the much-travelled Goetheweg (no. 219) in the direction of Pfeishütte without any significant difference in altitude until below the Mannlscharte. Here the trail climbs briefly in steep hairpin bends up to the ridge. On the other side, descend to the bottom of the Arzlerscharte, which is reached after approx. 1.5 hours. Now head eastwards over grassy slopes interspersed with gravel up to a rocky head, which is bypassed on the left, to the start of the ridge climb. Very exposed, but not particularly difficult (UIAA I -II), we climb once to the left and once to the right of the ridge, which breaks off steeply to the north and south, in approx. 1 hour from the Arzlerscharte to the summit with its large summit cross and impressive panoramic view.

    The descent via the east ridge through partly steep gravel gullies to the Kreuzjöchl (2121 m) is no longer as exposed, but still requires surefootedness.

    The descent from the Kreuzjöchl can be done either

    Take the path southwards via Vintlalm, Rumeralm and Arzleralm back to Hungerburg (see track).
    Or we can take the path towards Pfeishütte and return to the cable car mountain station.
    The third option leads via the Arzlerscharte (gravel path) to the Arzleralm and the Hungerburg.
