Prägraten am Großvenediger , the starting point for ascents of the Rainerhorn from the Defreggerhaus, is 10 km south.
Base and ascent
The Rainerhorn can only be reached via the glacier as part of an alpine tour . This means that appropriate equipment and experience are required for glacier climbing. The path of the first climbers led from the west over the Upper Keesboden and the northern flank of the mountain to the summit. Today's normal route runs from the Rainertörl crossing at an altitude of 3416 m over the firn-covered west ridge to the summit. The Defreggerhaus , located at an altitude of 2963 m, serves as a base . According to the literature, the walking time is about three hours.
