Challenging hike from Antholz Obertal or Antholz Mittertal to Rieserferner Hut in a high-alpine environment.

The hike to Rieserferner Hut (2,791 m) is one of the most impressive hut hikes in the Antholz Valley. Nestled in the high-alpine landscape of the Rieserferner group, the route leads through varied terrain into a stunning glacial environment.

Depending on the chosen starting point, the ascent passes alpine pastures, quiet forest sections and later high-alpine terrain up to the Gemsbichljoch, before reaching the spectacularly located hut.

Rieserferner Hut is an ideal base for high-alpine tours and offers a unique panorama of the surrounding 3,000-metre peaks.

This hike is suitable for experienced mountain hikers with good fitness and sure-footedness.

Suggestions
An early start is recommended, as the tour is long and weather conditions in the high mountains can change quickly. A particularly impressive moment is when the view opens up at the Gemsbichljoch, revealing the high-alpine landscape around the Rieserferner Hut.
