Tour character

Short tour to a panoramic 3,000 m peak in the Ötztal Alps. Access by chairlift, then initially easy and later through rocky and partly rope-insured terrain to the summit. For the descent, the variant via the Rofenkarsteig to the Breslauer Hütte, which is also secured, is recommended.
