Waiting
for the newly fallen snow to melt from the higher
mountains I go for
some lower peaks. I "cheat" a little by
taking the cableway to
Birgittzköpflhaus on 2035m, to
have strength left for a higher peak tomorrow.
|
The
path up to Saile is easy and therefore attracts a lot of tourists. |
At the main
summit, 2403 m. It turns out to be far more beautiful than I had expected. What about the wiew of...
|
|
|
|
| Kalkkögel in the
southwest, with peaks up to 2800 m, or... |
the
Stubai Valley in the south, the place where I am staying right now,
or... |
Innsbruck
in the northeast, 1800 altitude meters below. In the background are the
Karwendel mountains with Nordkette. To the left is the lower summit,
almost as high as the main.

Saile
seen from the lower summit, 2379m. Since the path
now is labeled as "black", there are no turists anymore,
just a few hikers. The path
isn´t very difficult to walk. The
only problem should be if you are afraid of
hights, you
pass close to steep cliffs. |
The
next target is the extraordinary beautiful peak
Spitzmandl. The path is
just as spectacular and lovely as
it looks. |
Once again, a
very beautiful peak...
|
|
|
|
| On the
Spitzmandl, 2206m. |
A
look back on Saile from Spitzmandl. You can see parts of the path
winding down the mountain. |
The
trail between Spitzmandl and Pfiemerswand has a short steeper passing
with wire, the only one on this trip. It means no big difficulties.
|
|
|
|
At
the last summit of the day, Pfiemerswand 2103 m. It
really isn´t much
more than a ridge going out from Saile
with little prominence. Since
this top is easily reachable
from Birgitzköpfhaus there are now some
tourists again.
