Description

This route initially follows the marked path up to the Zopetscharte. From there, you turn left and follow the exposed ridge upwards to the Tulpspitze. This section is partially secured with a wire rope; however, experienced mountaineers with a sure footing and a head for heights can manage it without a via ferrata set. After reaching the summit of the Tulpspitze, follow the clearly visible, exposed path along the ridge to the imposing summit cross on the Kreuzspitze. Please note that, despite the safety ropes, this is a demanding and difficult high-altitude hike that requires your full concentration.
