Description

This alpine stage starts at the catered mountain hut Verpeilhütte, then continues across Kühgrübl past the so called Madatschtürmen [Madatsch towers] to the Madatschferner glacier, which you will follow along its southeastern edge. Once there, continue on a steep fixed ropes course up to the Aperen Madatsch Joch ridge. The ca. 4 hour descent is similar to a fixed rope course across a mountain crest to the catered mountain hut Kaunergrathütte. Please note: this stage requires alpine experience!
