Glaitner Hochjoch
Route Character
Lonelier, equally beautiful alternative to Fleckner and great views into the Passeiertal.
Starting Point & Village
Starting point: Small parking lot just before the village Flading at the junction of Flading forest road to the interior Wumblsalm. Village: Ratschings
Ascent & Route
Either along the forest path to the first bend and over the forest glade up to the inside Wumblsalm (less steep version). Or directly from the starting-point quite steep and often icy through the sparse forest right up to the Alm. Then we walk south-west onto the broad back, flat at first then more steeply to the ridge. Respecting cornices on the ridge we hike to the west and reach the summit
Descent & Variants
As ascent or in secure conditions directly from the peak in the steep northern slope and on to the Alm. Passing the Alm we ride through a sparse forest (often icy) back to the starting point.

Map Explanation
- Slope inclinations are a very important criterion in avalanche risk management. However, slope inclination alone should never be the sole criterion!
- The resolution for Austria and South Tyrol is based on a digital terrain model (DTM) with 10m resolution. Outside these areas, accuracy is significantly lower.
- A map can only ever provide a limited view of real conditions.
