    Unassuming but varied summit in the touring area of the Franz Senn Hut. Wonderful ski touring destination combined with a spirited summit ascent.

    Prerequisite for this tour is high alpine experience and equipment (glacier region). Starting point is the Franz Senn Hut. The route leads southeast over the Stiergwschez, past the middle Sommerwand, over the Sommerwandferner to the Kräulscharte. A ski depot is set up here. From here it goes northwest without skis over the ridge (easy climbing) to the summit. The descent follows the ascent route. Variants are possible in this extensive terrain.

    Author’s recommendation

    If conditions allow, the descent variant along the summer path below the Vorder Sommerwand directly to the hut can also be chosen.
