Rofanspitze, a stunning peak in Austria's Rofan mountains, is a prime destination for hikers, offering breathtaking views of Lake Achensee and the Karwendel range. Accessibility is greatly enhanced by the Rofanbahn cable car from Maurach, reducing the strenuous ascent, though a moderate hike still leads to the summit from the top station. While many well-marked trails are suitable for experienced solo hikers, guided tours are recommended for those tackling via ferratas or with less mountain experience. The best time to visit is typically from June to early October, as seasonal restrictions apply due to snow cover at higher altitudes, with the Rofanbahn operating seasonally. Expect an approximate cost of €25-€30 for a round-trip cable car ticket, plus any parking or hut expenses. A typical visit to hike the summit from the cable car top station lasts 3-5 hours, though a full day is recommended to fully immerse in the alpine environment and enjoy the amenities of mountain huts like Erfurter Hütte. Essential gear includes sturdy hiking boots, layered clothing, water, and sun protection.
