Half-forgotten outlook to Similaun

Nice half-day walk begins at the mountain hut Martin Busch Hütte and leads to two kilometers long ridge Marzellkamm dividing two impressive glaciers flowing down from the local most favorite mountain of Similaun. The way is not too crowded, because there are far higher mountain targets around. And the outlooks on the way are really impressive. In addition, photographers can stay here without any problems until sunset, because the journey back to the moutain hut is not difficult and long

Article: Ascent to Kreuzspitze

Awesome outlook around Ötztal

Kreuzspitze (3455 m asl) belongs among the highest easily accessible austrian hiking peaks (you do not need any climbing equipment for the ascent). There are really incredible views across the whole Ötztal in good weather from its top. You can manage the ascent in one day from Vent, but far more enjoyable and tactical is to sleep at the hut of Martin Busch Hütte and combine it with another ascent in the neighborhood.

Connection between two valleys

You can ascent Saykogel by two ways - either from the Niedertal or Rofental valley. Most of the tourists take this advantage and plan the circuit not to have to return back through the same valley. So the mountain does not serve just like a beautiful outlook, but also as an interesting connection of hiking paths. Extreme tourists can do this circuit in a single day from Vent. Most tourists, however, go with more comfortable pace and spend one or two nights in this area. This photoreport describes the way from Martin Busch Hütte to the top of the mountain.
