The mountain stream makes both the ascent and the descent so special! 👂🏻💦

A small summit, accessible only via (exposed) but particularly steep, gravelly paths. It's worth it – especially for the view – but don't underestimate the trail! It's more of an off-the-beaten-path destination...

Over the lake outlet and eastwards up into a hidden high valley, which you leave shortly before the end to the left upwards. Over a short steep step secured with a wire rope, finally over scree, up to the wide southwest ridge. Along this up to the upper end of the Zufrittferner (3262 m). Cross the glacier diagonally eastwards, heading exactly towards the summit structure of the Zufrittspitze (crampons recommended - a must on bare ice). Where you then join the ascent route from the Ultental, on the steep southwest ridge at the beginning somewhat laborious over crumbly walking terrain, finally through a steep gully secured with a steel chain, up to the Zufrittspitze (3439 m). Walking time from Hölderle approx. 8-9 hours, from approx. 3200 meters only scree field.

In July the alpine roses bloom particularly beautifully here. This year there is a lot of water everywhere. The tops of the mountains are still covered with snow.
