Description

The tour starts at the Matreier Tauernhaus and leads first via hiking trail no. 925 or the wide road to Innergschlöß. This section can also be done with the Gschlösser Panoramazug or by taxi. At the end of the valley, the ascent to the Neue Prager Hütte begins. Take trail no. 902b and 902 and after about 1 hour you will reach the Alte Prager Hütte. This hut is no longer managed and has been converted into a museum. After another hour's walk, you come to the Neue Prager Hütte, which serves as an overnight accommodation. 
The ascent to the summit takes place over a crevasse-rich glacier area and requires essential glacier equipment. The ascent with a mountain guide is highly recommended!
