Glacier tour to the Rofenkarferner

From Vent, take the Wildspitze double chairlift to Stableinalm (2,354 m). From there, proceed briefly on a wide path and then on a well-developed hiking trail to the Breslauer Hütte (2,844 m); walking time: approx. 1 ½ hours.

At the Breslauer Hütte, continue to the right until after about 10 minutes you reach the junction to the Rofenkarferner. Here keep left and ascend for another hour somewhat steeper on a boardwalk up to the widely crevassed glacier tongue; walking time: approx. 1 ¼ hours.

For those who want to explore the Rofenkarferner further or gain first experiences with glacier travel, there is the option to follow the established path across the glacier (only with glacier equipment, mountain guide recommended!).

Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high mountain boots, wind, rain, and sun protection, a hat, and possibly gloves is required for all hikes and routes. Glacier tours require glacier equipment (crampons, ice axe, etc.). Carrying a first aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions for hikes without catering options, is necessary.

For climbers without fear of heights, sure-footed, and with high alpine experience; excellent physical condition, extensive mountain experience, alpine climbing equipment, securing and orientation tools, and good weather conditions are recommended.
