    3,500 m high Fluchtkogel is located amidst Austria’s largest connected glacier area. Surrounded by a silvery white coat of snow and shimmering ice, the mountain presents itself as a truly impressive natural wonder.

    All those who plan to climb it can look forward to a fairly spectacular glacier tour: every step on this route is characterized by both breathtaking beauty and alpine challenge. The crunching snow under your feet and the quiet rumbling of the glaciers in the distance create a very special and almost mystical atmosphere on your ascent. At its summit, Fluchtkogel rewards all efforts with awe-inspiring views of the highest peaks in the Ötztal Alps. Up here, in the midst of icy splendor, time seems to stand still while untouched nature reveals its sublime beauty in all its glory.

    Due to its seemingly secluded aura, the mountain is also considered a real insider tip among alpinists. Not too many people venture across the almost endless ice-covered landscape, and if they do, they should definitely be accompanied by a professional mountain guide with the appropriate equipment!

    On the ascent route there are three excellent options as a base camp for an overnight stay or a refreshment stop. Hochjoch Hospiz far away in the furthest part of Rofental near Hintereisferner, Brandenburger Haus in the middle of the glaciers in the foothills of Fluchtkogel and Vernagthütte on the way back to Vent.

Finally the terrain flattens out again before reaching the summit of Fluchtkogel (3,500 m). Walking time: approx. 2 hours

     

    Fluchtkogel - Vernagthütte

    From the summit, descend on the same path to Oberes Guslarjoch saddleback. Then hike down into the southeastern glacier basin of Fluchtkogel and further on to the glacier snout of Guslarferner. From Obrometer descend more steeply across a moraine and further down to Vernagthütte (2,755 m). Walking time: approx. 3 hours

     

    Vernagthütte - Vent
