Description

On the flat farm road to the glacier parlour.

Continue to the climb to the Braunschweiger Hütte.

The rocky climb leads steeply up along the glacier to the foot of the Mittelbergfernerbruch.

From there, the strenuous and very steep ascent to the hut begins, partly over steps.

Along this difficult path you have a fantastic view of the surrounding glacier world.

A very good climb leads up to the Pitztaler Jöchl, the view from there to the surrounding peaks and glaciers is very worth seeing.

Return on the same route. Tip: the way back can also be made via the glacier path at the Mittelbergferner (glacier crossing - alpine experience required) to the mountain station Pitz-Express (pay attention to travel times) - approx.

2 hours from Braunschweiger Hütte. equipment high alpine
