Location and surroundings
The Vordere Brochkogel is about five kilometers as the crow flies west of Vent , a good two kilometers west above the Breslauer Hütte . Neighboring peaks are in the north, separated by the Vernagtjoch ( 3400 m ), the Hintere Brochkogel with 3635 m and in the northeast the Wildspitze with 3768 m . To the south, the Vordere Brochkogel drops south-east into the Rofental and sends out a side ridge that carries the Platteikogel ( 3426 m ) and borders the Vernagtbach valley to the east, which also descends to the Rofental.
Base and ascent
The normal route , the easiest ascent, leads to the summit over the south ridge from the Breslauer Hütte , at an altitude of 2,844 meters. The route initially runs from the hut in a westerly direction on the marked path no. 919 ( Seuffertweg ) to Platteibach . Then it goes further north along the east bank over rubble to the exposed summit ridge in, according to literature, easy climbing of difficulty UIAA I to the summit. The path is quite precisely marked with cairns, but sometimes the cairns can hardly be seen in the upper area. First you reach the pre-summit (approx. 3550 m ), the main summit is approx. 120 m away, the path leads over the narrow and exposed summit ridge. According to the literature, the walking time is around 2½ hours. From the Vernagthütte ( 2766 m ), the ascent, initially following the Seuffertweg in an easterly direction, can be done in three hours.
view
Due to its height, the mountain offers a wide view that is only obstructed in the northeast by the two very close, higher mountains Hinterer Brochkogel and Wildspitze (between the two, the Zugspitze looks out among other things ). To the east you can see the Großvenediger , the Riesenferner group , the Zillertal Alps and the Hochschober 141 km away . In the southeast are the Dolomites , in the south the Presanella and in the southwest the mountains of the Ortler and Bernina groups . In the west, the view can extend to the Aletschhorn, 223 km away, and many other peaks in the Bernese Alps .
