Prerequisite for this route is high alpine experience and equipment (glacier area). The starting point is the Franz Senn Hut. The route leads southwest along the Alpeiner Creek to the beginning of the Alpeiner Glacier. Here you turn southeast toward the Alpeiner Kräulferner and ski up to the notch. A ski depot is set up here and the rest of the way goes west over the ridge to the summit. The descent follows the same area as the ascent.
Author’s recommendation
The route is reserved for very experienced mountaineers. Due to glacier retreat, the Kräulferner is becoming increasingly steep. Pay attention to avalanche danger.

Roadbook
From the Franz Senn Hut, the route leads southwest along the Alpeiner Creek to the start of the Alpeiner Glacier. Here you veer southeast over a very steep passage toward the Alpeiner Kräulferner and ski on the left side of the glacier up to the notch. A ski depot is set up here, and the rest of the way goes exposed westward along the ridge to the summit (depending on conditions with crampons). The descent follows the same area as the ascent.
