Description

The highest peak of Vorarlberg and very famous in the Alps. I started form the Wiesbadener hut over the Vermunt glacier, then climbed the Wiesbadener ridge and reached the Buin gap. From that saddle between big and little Buin it is a short passage to climb and then you reach the top. Marvellous view in all directions. With me was Hermann Gabriel and his wife Bohumila.

Thanks to MMag. phil. Bernhard Fleisch for this description.
