Rewarding and popular high mountain tour. The snow remains usually long into the season on the N side of the Grossstrubel. So the tour is still suitable after midsummer. To reach the Strubelgletscher above the Flyschweng you follow a clearly visible path. After crossing the Strubelgletscher you reach the actual key point of the tour. Due to glacial retreat of the Strubelgletscher, direct access to the "Früestücksplatze" (breakfast stop) in summer is no longer possible. You now head for the Ammertengrat a bit lower down by crossing a rocky band. Metal bars and bolts offer good security possibilities. The remainder of the tour is technically quite easy. Glacier equipment is still needed despite the massive glacier retreat.

Der direkte Zugang vom Strubelgletscher zum Früestücksplatz ist im Sommer nicht zu empfehlen (Steinschlag). Der Strubelgletscher ist oft recht spaltenreich.
