    Access to Fraganter Schutzhaus: After the bridge over the Fragantbach, turn immediately left along the Großfragantbach to the foot of the slope and via a forest road wide to the left back to the stream gorge. Follow the road in the gorge up to a footbridge. Beyond the bridge, a narrow path winds in serpentines through dense forest to a flattening. This part can also be shortened via a wide clearing. Then, the power plant is reached flatly, the stream side changed, and on the alpine path now in lighter high forest ascended to Fraganter Schutzhaus. This alpine path can also be shortened via alpine meadows and forest clearings. The ascent here takes about 2 hours and overcomes 750 meters of elevation. The Fraganter hut is now the central starting point for numerous ski tours in the basin called Großfragant.

    Author’s recommendation

    The ski tours in Großfragant are really enjoyable, especially starting from Fraganter Schutzhaus. Starting from Innerfragant increases the effort by an additional 750 meters of elevation gain and 2 extra hours.

    Roadbook

    Shortly, you descend from the hut along the alpine path and then turn into the flat alpine meadows of Zwerglalm. With gentle ups and downs, you reach a forester's house. Behind it, the first steep section in the forest is climbed up to signposts. Here, do not continue south towards the Sadnigbach gorge but turn right westwards into the increasingly steep forest. Through several switchbacks, a hut visible from afar is reached; beyond it, the further route is clearly visible. Very steep avalanche-prone slopes must now be overcome before crossing left into a somewhat flatter wide hollow. Now, the ever-steepening slope under the south ridge is climbed in many serpentines until the south ridge flattens somewhat. Along the ridge, the ski summit of Ofenspitze is easily reached. Shortly exposed, it goes on foot along the narrow connecting ridge almost flat in a few steps to the highest point.

    Descent: The very steep wide south slope offers plenty of space for the descent; a left turn leads into the southeast avalanche slope. Above the hut, you can now ascend a few meters to the left and then ski down shaded along the rocks in the sparse steep high forest to Zwerglalm.
