    On the first day, we tackle the ascent to the cosy Salbithütte. There we get a taste of the mountain air and climb a short route close to the hut - perfect for familiarising ourselves with the rock and checking our equipment.

    We set off early on the second day: with light luggage, in a good mood and accompanied by our experienced mountain guide, we tackle the south ridge. From tower to tower, we climb steadily up and down over airy passages, linked by short abseiling sections - always accompanied by the impressive backdrop of the Salbit.

  • Day 2 - Descent

    1850m

    After the summit we descend together to the hut and then on to the car park in the valley. If you wish, you can spend another night in the hut and then complete the descent in comfort on your own the next day.
