Approach
From Trient hut (3170 m) cross the Trient Plateau in WSW direction, conturn the crevassed zone on the right to reach the Purtscheller Collar (3383 m).
 |
Route Description
From the Collar, a snow slope leads to the foot of the NE face. Climb some rock tiers, staying on the right. A not well marked couloir leads oblique to the left and reaches the N ridge.
This ridge leads easy to the summit.
This is the normal route to Aiguille Purtscheller and the route of the first climber, Ludwig Purtscheller.
Abseiling :
Climb down 10 meters through the NE couloir. Here is the equipped abseiling route (2 abseilings of 30 meters). If the snow slope underneath is icy, a third abseiling length is necessary.

Essential Gear
Ice-axe, crampons, rope for abseilings of 30 meters.
