Vent - Hochjoch Hospiz - Brandenburger House

From Vent over the meadows and the suspension bridge to Rofen. From there continue to the material cable car of the Vernagthütte and further through the impressive Rofner Gorge on a path that first ascends moderately, then steeply, to the Hochjoch Hospiz. From there up the steep switchbacks of the slope, after about 15 minutes the path branches off to the left; passing the rugged tongue of the Kesselwand Glacier. The last part of the path leads over the Kesselwand Glacier (only with a rope and in a group).

Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking shoes, wind, rain and sun protection, a hat, possibly gloves, is necessary for all hikes and routes. Carrying a first aid kit, a mobile phone and possibly a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions for hikes without any food stops, is required.
