Bergkastelspitze
as it appears from the cableway station on almost 2200m at Nauders.
This mountain is, in all ways, a "real" mountain.
|
A look back at the cableway station and
restaurant. Behind is Piz Mundin 3145m. |
A little higher, at the tree
limit on 2300m. Bergkastelspitze is present all the time, the summit cross attracts up there.

|
Goldseen
are two lakes on a little more than 2550m. Here is the first one. |
Now
it's time for the steeper section, up towards the summit. |
The whole way from Goldseen is really steep. But somehow it works anyway. |
|
|
|
The
path is fairly visible most of the time, and there are red markings on
the stones here and there. The trail really should be followed here. |
In the
steeper sections you can slip on the grovel. The hands are needed sometimes. |
The
last section towards the summit is secured with a wire. At some places
I hold it, at others it feels better to go beside. |
|
|
|
Even
if Bergkastelspitze requires no vertigo and safety, this is still a
peak that can be accessed by anyone with some practice of steeper trekking. It
requires some effort and concentration, but it gives a lot in return. |
Klopaierspitze
2919m, to the south. There are two people standing on the summit. In
the background, to the right is Piz Bernina 4049m. |
A look
down towards Nauders from the summit. |

Piz Lad
in the southwest, with Silvretta behind. |
A look

Ötztaler alpen, to the east. To the left is Weißseespitze 3516m and to the right
Weißkügel 3739m. |
