The Racherin is 3092 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Glockner group of the Hohe Tauern in Austria . The summit is about 6 km as the crow flies northwest of Heiligenblut in the federal state of Carinthia . The normal ascent, which is marked and largely pathless, is easy but arduous to climb in dry and snow-free conditions . A good sense of direction is therefore an advantage during the tour. When the weather is right, you can enjoy an impressive view of the Großglockner and the surrounding mountains from the summit .
rise
The starting point for the normal ascent is a small parking lot on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road called Schöne Wand ( 2046 m ), approx. 1 km west of the Schöneck rest house ( 1945 m above sea level ). The unmarked trail begins at a memorial cross and first leads northeast in a few bends, soon turns to the northwest and runs almost parallel to the Grossglockner High Alpine Road into the so-called Albitzen , an extensive alpine area on the southern slope of the Racherin. Here the climbing tracks are lost and you orientate yourself north and reach an uncultivated alpine hut (approx. 2400 m ) over steep meadow slopes . Further north, you first come across flatter, later steeper terrain to the foot of a pronounced gully, which you follow, keeping to the left, up to a height of approx. 2950 m (difficult to walk, fine rock debris). Here you orientate yourself slightly to the right in the direction of the ascent and reach the summit without difficulty over relatively flat, crude terrain. (Walking time from the Schöne Wand car park approx. 3 hours)
