On a mountain range on the border between South Tyrol and Austria, the Rotbachspitze lies far above the Pfitchscherjoch and is in the catchment area of several classic ski tours.
At the end of the valley at the “Sagstallhof” farm, walk up the large meadow to the “Pfitscherjochstraße” road. Follow the road for approx. 300 meters, then turn left into the forest glade. After about 10 minutes you will be back on the road. Follow it to the 2nd turn. From there continue left through sparse forest up until the forest border. Pass the 4th turn until you reach the junction to “Griaplalm/Pfitscherjoch” (signs are visible in normal snow conditions). Continue in the direction of “Pfitscherjoch” until you reach the border house. From there head east below the western ridge. Continue in hairpin bends over the steep western face to the summit cross.
Descent: Along the ascent route.
