Beautiful alpine transition. There are 2 variants on the side towards Jungu.

The red-white marked trail is strongly endangered by rockfall (warning signs). Just to climb, except for the traversing of an unpleasantly slippery chute. In addition, you do not come in contact with the remnants of the glacier.

The blue-white marked way is like a moderately secured easy via ferrata to commit. The exit from the passage to the glacier is via a ladder. At the end of August, it hung freely over 1m above the glacier in the air. The glacier was bare but flat and free of cracks and thus accessible without iron.

My recommendation:

From Jungu if possible the blue white way. You can see from the place where the paths separate, how high the ladder hangs over the glacier.

Coming from the Topalihütte better the red-white way, because from the top is not apparent whether an exit to the glacier is possible.

In principle, the blue-white path seemed safer to me, because less rockfall possible.

This pass is the way to get to the Topalihütte hut. Unfortunately, the Steinschalg endangered path is not entirely without. He is always different. The rock is loose and therefore not entirely harmless. The route is rated very moderate with T3 in this part. In my view these 300m are a T4 and in bad weather it can also be a T5.
