Rofan Mountains

The Rofan Mountains are located in the western part of the Brandenberg Alps, between Lake Achensee and Inn Valley. It consists of the main ridge with well-known peaks such as the Klobenjoch, the Hochiss, the Seekarlspitze and the Rofanspitze. The Dalfazer Wände with the Dalfazer Joch and Rotspitze are connected to it. A little farther south is another ridge including the Sagzahn, Sonnwendjoch and Haidachstellwand.

Vorderes Sonnwendjoch - Sagzahn - Rofanspitze by D
August 13, 2025 · Community
Tolle Tour, aber Achtung, der Klettersteig am Sagzahn wird nicht erwähnt - kann umgangen werden, das kostet aber ca. ne halbe Stunde extra. Evtl. andersrum gehen, dann kann man die Kletterpassage bergauf gehen.

Kaisergebirge 3 Tagestour by Benjamin
July 03, 2025 · Community
Sehr schöne Tour, und sehr empfehlenswert. Jedoch war die geplante Überschreitung (Klettersteig) sehr anspruchsvoll und für manche sicherlich unbewältigbar zu dieser Jahreszeit aufgrund des Schnees. Ich persönlich musste meine langjährige Kletter- und Bergerfahrung einsetzen, um den Klettersteig "umklettern" zu können.
