Sellrainer Hüttenrunde: 3. Etappe
****
The third day of the tour begins with questions: do we want to take the normal route or virtually take the Schöntalspitze at 3,008 meters with us or hike in a long loop over the Äußere Schwarzjöchl to the Pforzheimer Hütte? Weather, ability and condition will decide the route. But either way, the stage destination spoils everyone equally: with its views and culinary delights.
Difficult stage on black mountain paths. Sure-footedness, alpine experience and a very good level of fitness are required.
Follow route no. 143 from the Westfalenhaus mountain hut up to the Zischgenscharte ridge at 2,900 metres above sea level. From there, it is well worth doing a detour up to the Schöntalspitze peak at 3,000 metres above sea level. This is the highest point of the entire tour. The route then continues via the Zischgeles Ferner glacier to the Gleirsch Valley and the Pforzheimer Hütte mountain hut at 2,300 metres above sea level.
This difficult stage has an elevation gain of 780 metres and an elevation loss of 745 metres.
The walking time is at least 5 hours.
Joining options: From St. Sigmund via the Gleirschalm mountain hut to the Pforzheimer Hütte mountain hut (walking time: 2.5 hours)
