ACROSS GLACIERS, RIDGES AND STEEP SLOPES
From Winnebachseehütte the climbing trail leads in switch backs up to thepeak of Ernst-Riml-Spitze. Right before you reach the glacier fields of Bachfallenferner you climb the steeply winding route along the glacier moraine. The view of Bachfallenferner glacier and the crossing itself are really amazing. The almost level path becomes a bit steeper up to the ridge of Gaislehnscharte, the highest point. A short climb awaits you but you will be rewarded with aweinspiring vistas. Steep descent through Schrankar down to Hinteres Sulztal valley and Amberger Hütte.
