723 | Max Hirschl Trail Hiking tours

A challenging high-altitude tour for experienced mountaineers – with magnificent views and a genuine glacier atmosphere.

This impressive route, which is only recommended for experienced mountaineers or those accompanied by a mountain guide, leads from Mooserboden via Kempsenkopf (3,091 m) to the Gleiwitzer Hut (2,174 m) – or alternatively on to Hoher Tenn (3,317 m).

The ascent begins at Mooserboden, leads over the imposing barriers and along the slope channel to the Wielinger Bachfassung. Steep mountain meadows and numerous serpentines lead through rocky terrain to the Bratschen and on to the Kempsenkopf. From there, the path splits – either towards the Gleiwitzer Hut or over the ridge to the summit of the Hoher Tenn.
The crossing to the Hoher Tenn is technically demanding (difficulty level III–V), partly very exposed and only passable in stable weather conditions. The most difficult sections are secured with fixed ropes.
The descent is via the upper and lower Jägerscharte down to the Gleiwitzer Hut. In bad weather, the trail is dangerous and should not be underestimated.
