    We start the day early in the morning and climb the Dom together, enjoy the summit and return to the hut together. We climb the rocky Festijoch, which is an easy scramble. From the Festijoch, depending on the conditions, we decide whether to climb to the summit via the Festigrat, which is more varied and direct, or via the normal route (north flank). The descent leads via the north flank and again via the scramble at the Festijoch back to the Domhütte.

  • Individual descent from the hut
