FluchtkoglPhoto: Roland Grüner, Ötztal
From the Vernagthütte on a path over the moraine to the Guslarferner, which is entered shortly before the rain gauge. Over the crevassed Guslarferner up to the Upper Guslarjoch (3,361 m). From here steeply over the firn slope (sometimes icy). Finally flattening again to the summit.
