  • Difficulty
    T4
  • Ascent
    3 h, 980 m

On the route to the Dossenhütte is the Rosenlauibiwak (only open in winter)

The Rosenlauibiwak stands at the foot of the Dossenwand, roughly 300m below the Dossenhütte and lies on the normal hut path. The Rosenlauibiwak is only open in winter/ early spring and is a good start point for ski tours. The ascent demands sure footedness and is not recommended after fresh/ heavy snowfall.

Route description

Rosenlaui - Hindrem Gletscherhubel
From the large car park above the Rosenlauihotel (Postauto/ bus stop on the road to Schwarzwaldalp) follow the wide path west of the Rosenlaui canyon southwards to the bridge at P. 1487 m. Cross the bridge and head in an easterly direction up through sparse forest to pass behind the Gletscherhubel (1759 m). At the T-junction, a left turn will take you to the Engelhornhütte, to the right: the Dossenhütte.
Hindrem Gletscherhubel - Rosenlauibiwak
Continue in a southerly direction to the foot of the large lateral moraine and then climb up leftwards to reach the moraine ridge. Follow this to its upper end and onto the eastern slope of a wide couloir over limestone slabs, making use of artificial steps and metal railings. In the upper right part of the Couloir a ladder helps you past a larger step, before the path takes you up and left onto a scree terrace. From there move on towards the foot of the Dossenwand and the Rosenlauibiwak; 3 hrs.
