This is not a beginners hike. There are some rather exposed sections and prior experience with adequate fitness level is a required.. 

Technical difficulty: The hike has difficulty T5 , please read the blog to understand the requirements for sac scale T5. Sure footedness and no fear of height is required. 

Things to bring:

• Hiking boots
• hiking poles are optional
• Cash for the train ride and bus lines (max 20 EUR, still need to check if all bus lines i.e. stops are covered by the group ticket  
• Cash for the hut, if you plan to have something at the hut on way down, Sonnwendjoch hut should be up and running
• Passport/ID 
• FFP2 mask for the train and hut
• Covid related documents for border crossing  (3G - neg.tested, vaccinated or recovered)
• Food/drinks for the way (2 L water at least and snacks. It is about 7 hour hike depending on the group's pace. You won't starve but getting low sugar levels and being a tad moody probably won't make you the favourite buddy so bring enough water and snacks with ya to fuel you :) )
• Proper Clothes - please think in layers ( onion principle i.e. have next to t-shirt a rain/wind jacket if it gets cold when cooling down and taking a break)
• Sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses and a hat is recommended
• first aid kit
