Description

From Vent either via a very wide, gently ascending path or a slightly steeper path below the chairlift to Stableinalm. From Stableinalm, first moderately on a wide path, later steeply on a narrow mountain trail ascending to Breslauer Hütte. Over the Seufertweg without significant climb into the Vernagtbach valley. From there up to Vernagthütte. On an easy path to Hochjoch Hospiz. Overnight stay. From there descent to the iron bridge over the Hintereisbach and steep switchbacks to the junction to the Martin Busch Hütte. Over very rocky terrain, first easy then steeply ascending to the summit (two small climbing sections in between, no rope protection available - free from dizziness and surefootedness required). Descent over scree to Martin Busch Hütte. Overnight stay. From Martin Busch Hütte steeply up, past the wall remains of Brizzihütte and past Brizzisee. From the summit, there is a unique panoramic view of the entire Ötztal mountains, as well as the highest and most beautiful summits of the Eastern Alps. Descent to Martin Busch Hütte and further to Vent.
