2 day:

In the light of the headlamps we hike towards the glacier. With the first light of day we enter the glacier. Roped up, we walk across the huge glacier surface of the Obersulzbachkeese past crevasse zones to the Venedigerscharte 3200m. From here it’s another 400 meters to the summit when the air is getting thinner. For the “grand finale”, it goes over the famous firn ridge to the summit cross. After a long rest it goes back to the hut on the same path. After a little refreshment at the Kürsingerhütte, we go down to the material cable car, where the taxi is already waiting.

• Ascent: 1200hm / Descent: 1800hm to material cable car
• Walking time: 9-10 hours
