This scenic summit route rewards you with spectacular views of the remains of Blaueis Glacier. The trail to Blaueishütte is easy. Fixed cables are limited to the final 300 meters of elevation gain and must be negotiated both on the ascent and descent.
This difficult mountain trail (KS 1/2), equipped with fixed cables in some sections, leads to the striking rocky summit above Blaueishütte. The route to the exposed summit is popular due to its proximity to the hut.
Warning: For experienced mountaineers only! The hike to Schärtenspitze should only be attempted by truly experienced mountaineers who are absolutely sure-footed, have a head for heights, and are in excellent physical condition.
