HOCHJOCH HOSPICE -> GUSLARSPITZE
Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain and sun protection, hat, possibly gloves, is required for all hikes and routes. Bringing a first aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions for hikes without rest options, is necessary.
From Vent on the wonderful hiking path and over the suspension bridge to the Rofen farms, from there over the Rofen meadows to the valley station of the material cable car of the Vernagthütte, from there further through the impressive gorge on a moderately ascending path to the Hochjoch Hospice. From the hut further towards the Brandenburger House, after about 1 hour the path branches off towards the Guslarspitze. Continue on soft grassy ground, finally over rocky terrain to the summit. You can expect a wonderful panoramic view and a beautiful summit cross with an edelweiss. Return via the Vernagthütte.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final station or exit point is the ÖTZTAL train station. Afterwards, travel comfortably and quickly by public bus or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination!
