Route description

You'll take the glacier railway to the middle station Fernau. Within five minutes you'll reach the Dresdner Hütte (mountain hut), which is the starting point of the hiking tour. Through the valley you'll hike towards the west side of the Grosse Trögler. Using easily accessible serpentines you'll be hiking uphill, only the last bit of the path will be more challenging. Once there, you'll be rewarded by a stunning view on the Stubai glaciers. A descent to the Sulzenauhütte will follow, which partially leads via exposed pathways and becomes even more dangerous in wet weather conditions.
