Description

From the valley station of the Rofan cable car, follow the forest road to the Buchauer Alm*) mountain hut. Continue to the Rasthütte Mauritz (not serviced). Turn right and follow the steep trail to the junction. Turn right and follow the Hubersteig trail. Walk through the forest and over scree slopes past avalanche barriers to the ridge. From here, the trail to the summit of the Ebner Joch climbs steeply between mountain pines (signposted). The descent is via the Astenau Alpe and Buchauer Alm.

 

*) Sadly, the Buchauer Alm was destroyed in a tragic fire. It is not yet clear whether the mountain hut will be rebuilt.
