Classified as an ‘Alpine route’ suitable for experienced mountain walkers only, this is a popular cross-country trek for climbers moving from one hut to the next. The Litzner Sattel lies in a ridge running northeast of the elegant rock pinnacle of the Gross Litzner, and on its northern side lie the remnants of a small glacier – mostly snow now, but it could be icy in its upper reaches.

From the Wiesbadener Hut (see Route 12) walk down the track/dirt road to the southern end of the Silvretta Stausee reservoir. Cross the bridge over the torrent which drains the Ochsental, and at the next junction branch left into the Klostertal (about 1hr to here).
