Großer Bösenstein - a classic in the Rottenmanner Tauern mountains

From the parking lot of the Edelrautehütte, go either along the summer trail or in the sense of the ascent to the left of it (southeast) across open meadows to the Großer Scheiblsee. Along the right shore of the lake and in the area of the almost rear end of the lake up over the small steep step (alder bushes with little snow) to the foot of the Rote Rinne. Now in a southwesterly direction up over a steep step. At about 2000m the route turns to the NW. Now you are "1 floor" below the Elendkar. This can be reached either by crossing the slope on the right side (NE). Often here it is easier to take the crampons out of the backpack and use them! There is also the possibility to walk in the flat valley floor to the foot of the Kleiner Bösenstein. At the end of the flat bottom you climb to the right (NE) over a steep step, thus after again meets the previously described route (after the traverse) at the beginning of the Elendkares. The route continues in a northwesterly direction into the Elendkar.

The steep ascent to Elendscharte covers a good 100 meters in altitude. Some hairpin bends are necessary. To install crampons is often good. In or shortly after the Elendscharte a ski depot is reached. Via the summit ridge you reach the summit of the 2448m high Bösenstein.

Descent as ascent

Often the Kleine Bösenstein offers better snow. In the Elendkar you can decide: Big or Small or both!

Tip: Stop Edelrautehütte
