Rettlkirchspitze

Varied ridge tour that requires sure-footedness and a head for heights.
This is a difficult hike that should only be attempted by advanced and experienced hikers. The decisive factor here is the ascent and descent passages, some of which have to be climbed.

The descent takes place on the route already known from the way there.

Due to the steep grassy slopes, do not climb when it is wet!
