The shortest summit destination in the area around the Franz Senn Hütte. As a result, there are no long flat sections like with some of the other peaks near the hut. Beautiful views from the summit—you can already see your next goals ahead of you.

The route

From the Franz Senn Hütte, head uphill toward the south-southeast until, after passing a blocking rock ridge, you can turn right into the Stiergschwetz. Continue through beautiful hollows and ridges to a few small lakes, to the left of the Sommerwände (2682 m). Gradually, the terrain becomes steeper again, and you reach the Sommerwandferner glacier. Ascend the right side of the glacier to the Kräulscharte (3069 m). Leave your skis here, and continue on foot along the narrow summit ridge—partially secured with fixed ropes—exposed in places, to reach the summit.

Descent

Same as the ascent.
