Overview and Approach  On the lower part of the ridge
The route starts at Martin Busch Haus, 2501 m. See the main page of Similaun how to get there from Vent.
Route Description The marked path starts south of the house and very soon gains 300 meters of altitude. It goes over grassy slopes and soon excells with a great panorama. From the point 2800 m to the highest point of Marzellkamm (3147 m) you go a little less than 2 km mainly by the ridge, only on a few places at the end you need to descend a little on the eastern slopes to avoid ridge rocks.
From the highest point, 3147 m, which is market with a kind of a geodetic sign, you descend a little (50 meters or so) to the upper part of Niederjochferner and soon the route joins the usual route, which comes from Similaunhuette. The last part of the ascent to the top of Similaun is a bit steeper and also exposed, but in good conditions there are no real troubles.Essential GearGood shoes, for the last part of the ascent over the glacier to the top of Similaun you need to rope up and to have the equipment to hike over glaciers.
