Rofenhöfe 2014 m 51
Map & elevation profile
The Tour
VENT -> Suspension Bridge -> Rofenhöfe -> VENT
It’s a relaxing walk along the pasture towards Rofenhöfe. Along the way, you often encounter herds of Haflingers that spend the summer here on the alpine pasture. The old summit cross of the Wildspitze, the highest mountain in Tyrol, was erected on this path and is definitely worth a snapshot. The conclusion and at the same time highlight of this hike is crossing the suspension bridge over the Rofen-Ache. Adventurous hikers will especially enjoy this! The return to the valley is along the same path.
Refreshments at the Rofenhof guesthouse (summer - closed Mondays, winter - closed Sundays)
The path is passable with a sturdy stroller.
