Routes leading to this Highlight may be dangerous
Routes may comprise technical, difficult, or hazardous terrain. Specialist equipment and prior experience may be required.
From the starting point, the flat farm track leads to the Gletscherstube. Continue left to climb to the Braunschweiger Hütte. The rocky waterfall path leads steeply up the glacier break to the foot of the Mittelbergfernerbruch. From there, the arduous and very steep climb to the hut begins, partly over steps. Along this arduous path, you have a fantastic view of the surrounding glacier world. A very good path leads up to the Pitztaler Jöchl. The view from there of the surrounding peaks and glaciers is worth seeing. You return to the valley via the same route. Good fitness and surefootedness are required! The way back follows the same path.

Incredible views and heavy hiking trail. A highlight of the long-distance hiking trail E 5, coming from the Braunschweiger Hütte, the descent in wet weather is difficult and requires the fullest concentration, as the slabs are slippery and sometimes wobble.

Sturdy shoes and free of heights. Never ending, and especially children without security
