Map & elevation profile
The Tour
From the top station of the DSB Wildspitze chairlift, it is about a 30-minute walk towards Breslauer Hut, then turn right at the junction leading to the top station of the Wildes Mannle six-seater chairlift.
Alternatively, you can take both chairlifts to the start of the route.
From the Wildes Mannle top station, follow a beautiful hiking trail and later continue through steep, rocky terrain (with fixed cable protection) to the summit.
From the summit, there are magnificent views of Wildspitze directly opposite, the Vent Mountains, and the Ortler Group.
The descent continues over the summit to a small mountain saddle and then down a secured trail to the tongue of the Rofenkarferner glacier. From there, you can either continue to Breslauer Hut or descend to the Stableinalm panoramic restaurant (closed on Tuesdays).
