Vent - Hochjoch Hospiz - Brandenburger Haus - Fluchtkogel - Vernagthütte - Vent
3,500 m high Fluchtkogel is located amidst Austria’s largest connected glacier area. Surrounded by a silvery white coat of snow and shimmering ice, the mountain presents itself as a truly impressive natural wonder.
All those who plan to climb it can look forward to a fairly spectacular glacier tour: every step on this route is characterized by both breathtaking beauty and alpine challenge. The crunching snow under your feet and the quiet rumbling of the glaciers in the distance create a very special and almost mystical atmosphere on your ascent. At its summit, Fluchtkogel rewards all efforts with awe-inspiring views of the highest peaks in the Ötztal Alps. Up here, in the midst of icy splendor, time seems to stand still while untouched nature reveals its sublime beauty in all its glory.
Due to its seemingly secluded aura, the mountain is also considered a real insider tip among alpinists. Not too many people venture across the almost endless ice-covered landscape, and if they do, they should definitely be accompanied by a professional mountain guide with the appropriate equipment!
On the ascent route there are three excellent options as a base camp for an overnight stay or a refreshment stop. Hochjoch Hospiz far away in the furthest part of Rofental near Hintereisferner, Brandenburger Haus in the middle of the glaciers in the foothills of Fluchtkogel and Vernagthütte on the way back to Vent.
Travel safe and comfortable with the train to the Ötztal Bahnhof train station. Last stop and exit point is the train station Ötztal Bahnhof. Afterwards you can travel smoothly and quick with the public transport or our local taxi companies through the valley to your desired destination.
