High alpine mountain tours in South Tyrol

To Mount Roteck in Texelgruppe Nature Park

With 3337 m Mount Roteck is the highest mountain in the whole Texelgruppe Nature Park.

Despite his magnitude, Mount Roteck hasn’t a glacier. Nevertheless the ascent to Mount Roteck should not be sneezed at: after all there are 2387 altimeters to bridge.

Therefore we recommend to mountaineers to spend the night in the Lodnerhütte Refuge. So you are fit for the next day and for the 1075 m difference in altitude.

To Mount Roteck

Starting point is Partschins near Meran in South Tyrol. Drive to the last parking places near Gasthaus Birkenwald. There begins path 8. Follow it to Nasserreith Refuge and finally to Lodnerhütte Refuge at 2259 m above sea level (4 hours from Ratschings). Stay here overnight.

The next day you can conquer Mount Roteck. Follow path 9 in direction of Roteck: at first you will cross meadows than rocky passages with some climbing parts. Arrived at the ridge, you will reach soon and easily the peak of Mount Roteck (3,5 hours from Lodnerhütte Refuge).
