Free parking directly at the Gargellen cable car

From the parking lot, you ascend via the Lower Valzifenzalp (1,693 m). Passing south below the Ritzenspitze, the ascent begins at the alp. At the Upper Valzifenzalp (1,838 m) you head southeast. To the south, the route branches off to the Schlappiner Joch. The valley is called Wintertal, and after about 6 km and 800 m altitude gain, a customs hut (2,221 m) is reached. Now the path splits. To the Rotbühelspitze you continue southeast and at about 2,400 m you turn east into a small valley. This leads hidden all the way near the summit. Finally, there is a steep slope to cross before reaching the summit. The descent is on the same path as the ascent. Under safe conditions, the steep summit slope to the northwest can also be directly descended to the saddle by the customs hut from the Rotbühelspitze.
