I
use the cableway to the Eisgrat station at 2850 m. It feels a little
bit strange to
start like this, in the middle of tourists, facilities etc. But I want
to try snow and
glacier ice in a safe way. Then I also want to go for some higher peaks
who I
can reach by myself, and they are here. |
The
first 300 altitude meters passes over the glacier, but the path is
marked with sticks so you won´t risk coming close to any glacier
crevasses. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
On
more than 3100m you pass the top Kleine Isidor, 3200m. You can go by
cableway to 3150m , then climb the less than 100 altitude meters to the
peak,
to claim a 3000-meter. Actually it is not really defined as a real
3000m peak.
The path goes up on the left side in this picture. As you can see it is
rather steep. |
The trail
continues up to the cable station Schaufeljochbahn 3150m, with
Schaufelspitze to the right. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Halfway
to the peak. This is no turist path, so now I am completely alone. It
feels
better. |
The sharp summit
of Schaufelspitze, 3332m, with a rather small wooden cross. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
It´s
here you get rewarded for the effort, the wiew from this altitude is
magnificent.
To the west is Ötztaler Alpen, with Wildspitze, 3770m, a little to the
right of the
middle in this picture. |
Closer,
to the northwest, Stubaier Wildspitze 3344m, rises like a sharp
pyramid. Actally, it looks rather wild... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The most
impressive of all is probably the wiew towards Zuckerhütl, 3505m. |
Meeting a solo
hiker at the peak. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
After
coming down again I take the time to climb the Kleine Isidor as well,
it´s
there anyway. The path is steep but here is wire so it means no big
problems to
get up there. |
The
summit of Kleine Isidor, 3200m.
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
|
I
descend on the other side of Kleine Isidor. Here is no path and it´s
steep. On
the other side of a snowfield is Schußgrubenkogel.
|
On the
way towards Schußgrubenkogel.
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
|
The
summit of Schußgrubenkogel, 3211m, seen from the almost as high summit
at the side.
|
The
side summit seen from the main. You pass the side summit at the right
side and follow the rigde to the main summit. This is no peak for
beginners, and it´s important you follow the small cairns marking the
right way.
