Description

An impressive hiking trail, up close past imposing glaciers. The summit is framed by the nearby glaciers at the end of the Oberberg valley.

On the connecting path Franz Senn Hütte - Amberger Hütte we hike towards Alpeiner Ferner. We climb over the western marginal moraine to an altitude of 2170m, where we leave trail no. 131 in a right-hand loop and climb steeply in a north-westerly direction. The marked trail, which does not cross a glacier, now leads us below the Turmferner past a lake, to the summit of the Aperer Turm. The passage to the summit cross is equipped with fixed ropes. On the spacious summit you have a wonderful view of the surrounding glacier world.
