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.
