Route.

Hochberg 2,324 m

The route follows hiking trails and is marked with the characteristic Summits markings.

Initially, the route leads to Alpe Felle and from there continues southward towards the Hochgletscher. The route then continues westward towards Fürggele. There, the route merges with the original route of the Summits Tour. Next, the path takes the Rookies to the Hochberg at 2324 meters high, the highest point of the tour and also the 5th summit of the grand Seven Summits Tour Schröcken. From here, there is a wonderful view over Schröcken, the Bregenz Forest, and the other tour peaks.

The journey continues to the Biberacher Hütte and then descends to the Bregenzer Ach. From Landsteg along the Ach, it gently ascends back to Schröcken into the beautiful finish area.

The Background & ROKPA.

It all started with the question, "How far will our feet carry us?"

Alois Schwarzmann and Pius Bischof, both raised in the region, wondered in the 1950s why no one had yet climbed the impressive peaks around Schröcken in one day. They promptly put their idea into action, devised a route, and managed to conquer all seven peaks in 24 hours. Ten years ago, the adventure of the two Schröckner was revived in the form of the Seven Summits Tour and has taken place every September since. The coveted event has been fully booked every time since.

The proceeds benefit the aid organization ROKPA to support projects in Nepal, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Be part of this inspiring story and experience the fascination of the Seven Summits Tour!

The aid organization ROKPA is active in areas where humanitarian aid is particularly challenging but urgently needed.

Primarily, donations are used to support education, healthcare, nutrition, and livelihoods for the most vulnerable people. For example, in Kathmandu (Nepal), children are taken off the streets, educational programs are organized for single mothers, and warm meals are provided for the homeless.
