Route Information
Rinnenspitze (3003 m) is a high mountain in Stubai Alps which offers breathtaking views of Glaciers and other high mountains in Stubai. It's one of the most beautiful hikes I have done in Alps.
Ascent: The starting point of the hike is Oberissalm. From there follow the signs to Franz Senn Hut or Rinnenspitze. The trail is straightforward easy hike till Franz Senn Hut. There are very beautiful waterfalls and glaciers views. From the hut the trail becomes a little bit steep and narrow and there are some ropes of difficult sections. After approx. 30 min walk, you will see a diversion - the right one goes to the summit (45 min) and the left one goes to RInnensee (10 min). Take the right one here.
The last part from the diversion is very steep and there is A/B klettersteig. The helmet and gloves are highly recommended in this section. After very steep climb, you will arrive at the summit. The views of Lisenser Ferner with Lüsener Fernerkogel is amazing from the summit. Also you will see many high mountains in Stubai Alps with glaciers in good weather.
Descent: Take the same via ferrata from the summit to the last diversion. If you have some time, you can go the the Rinnensee which is 10 min from the diversion. After that follow the same trail to the parking lot.
Tip: If you want to add an additional klettersteig, you can take short klettersteig - Edelweiss klettersteig (grade C). It's just 90 m, the entry point is just behind Franz Senn Hut.
By car: There is a parking lot close to Oberissalm (1742 m). The parking tickets costs 5 EUR per day. The address to navigation is: Oberissalm 1, 6167 Neustift im Stubaital, Austria
