Tierberglücke & Sacklimi, these are two saddles between huts. If not ideal conditions, it is a very difficult tour. The Tierberglücke saddle waits for a 1300 m steep downhill ride on the western slope of the Zwischen Tierbergen glacier. Locally challenging and avalanche. After crossing the creek from Triftgletscher, a very difficult ascent takes place through a narrow corridor, often turning every 5 meters. There follows a wide crest that rises to Sacklimi saddle. In the ascent finish to Sacklimi is route steep and there is a avalanche risk. The downhill is easy and the final ascent to the Trift Hut also.
