The route begins in Hinterbichl and follows the Alpine cart track to Dorfertal and the Johannis Hütte (2121 m). The taxi shuttle service shortens the ascent. To Defreggerhaus (2964 m) with views up to the shimmering white firn snow of the widely glaciated area. After the Mullwitzaderl (3241 m) the ascent of the glacier begins. Crampons, rope and being accompanied by a mountain guide will provide you with safe passage. The route proceeds via Rainer Törl to the icy summit of the Großvenediger (3666 m). Enjoy a dreamy all-round view across the Hohe Tauern National Park and the surrounding mountains including the Dolomites, the Dachstein mountains and many others. Educational trail (pocket guide available).
The ascent with a mountain guide is highly recommended!
