    Hiking

    The Pfortscharte (2,828 meters) forms the transition from the Ködnitztal to the Leitertal. The steep ascent over scree is rewarded with a magnificent view.

    Hiking

    Hike from the Stüdlhütte via Pfortscharte and Salmhütte to the Glorer Hütte. Nice view from the Pfortscharte into several valleys.
