Rötspitze – Normal route
A beautiful and rewarding summit above the Ahrntal
3,495 m · Difficulty PD, III- · 2 days · Venediger Group
Rötspitze - Normal Route: The Rötspitze is one of the most impressive peaks in the Venediger Group. The tour offers both glacier terrain and fine blocky ridge climbing to the summit, from where you enjoy fantastic views down towards the Ahrntal and over the wildly crevassed Umbalkees – for a few moments you almost feel as if you were in the Western Alps. The tour is rounded off with an overnight stay at the Lenkjöchlhütte. There is also the option of climbing the Dreiherrenspitze on an additional day.

PROGRAMME
Day 1: Approach to the hut
Starting from the car park at the Nature Park House in Kasern, the meeting point for this alpine tour, we set off towards the Lenkjöchlhütte. Other meeting points and car sharing can be arranged individually when booking. Once everything has been checked and the necessary equipment is in the rucksack, we get going. Passing various remains of the old mine, we head into the Röttal and follow it all the way up to the Lenkjöchlhütte.
Walking time: 3.5 h | ↑ 1,000 m
⌂ Lenkjöchlhütte (2,603 m)
Day 2: Summit via the ridge
On the second day we set off for the summit. First we cross broken rock and boulders onto the glacier and climb it up to the so-called Little Rötspitze. Along the ridge, broad at first but then increasingly narrow and exciting, we enjoy fine block climbing all the way to the summit of the Rötspitze. We return along our ascent route to the Lenkjöchlhütte and continue down to Kasern.
Total time: 7.5 h | ↑ 900 m | ↓ 1,900 m | Difficulty: PD, III-
Any changes to the programme that may become necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, availability of accommodation, etc.) are always made in consultation with the participants.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
What do I need to bring for the Rötspitze?
For the Rötspitze you should be sure-footed and already have some experience on an alpine tour. The route crosses glacier terrain and also includes easy climbing sections on the ridge, so good fitness and confident movement on blocky terrain help a great deal.
What equipment do I need?
You will receive the detailed kit list with the confirmation email. Most important are sturdy mountaineering boots and suitable clothing for high-alpine terrain. Technical equipment can be rented for a small wear-and-tear fee.
Can the tour be combined with the Dreiherrenspitze?
Yes, that works well. If you would like to add an extra day, the Dreiherrenspitze can easily be combined with the overnight stay at the Lenkjöchlhütte. It is best to discuss this directly when booking.
