Alpine routes in the Holiday Region Hohe Tauern National Park

Steep, impressive flanks with clearly delineated ridges above a (still) rather wild glacier. A striking ridge, visible from afar, which merges into the so-called ice ridge before the summit, in predominantly solid granite. This is how you could summarise the tour from the Wildgerlostal valley or from the Zittauer Hütte via the rarely climbed north ridge to the second highest peak in the Reichenspitz group. You will be rewarded with the feeling of having climbed a mountain under your own steam and in its original state: no access aids, partly pathless, you may have to find your own way on the glacier and there are no human remains on the ridge that would make it easier to climb. As you have to descend along the same route and the descent is therefore more difficult than the ascent, the summit only "belongs" to you once you are back at the bottom. (Attention: the track shown is only schematic!!!)

From the Zillergründl reservoir, an easy two-day high-altitude tour leads first to the Plauener Hütte and then through the ice-covered western flank, over the ridge in easy scrambling (max. I) to the summit of the Reichenspitze.

Very beautiful high alpine and varied crossing, where you can also climb the Großer Geiger if you are fit enough.

This tour is suitable for anyone who has just started mountaineering and wants to gain experience on the glacier. It is also suitable for training courses (glacier rope team, crevasse rescue, etc.). Ambitious mountaineers can continue from Maurertörl to the Großer Geiger.

Three different peaks in one day with a magnificent mountain backdrop of the Zillertal Alps. Each summit, whether Reichenspitze, Kuchelmooskopf or Richterspitze, has its own character and presents different alpine challenges.

Een prachtige tocht over gletsjers en door de rotsen, rondom de Gross Venediger. Met mooie pasovergangen en enkele toppen.

Ausgehend von Krimml Ortsmitte über die Breitscharte - Leitenkammersteig bis zur Zittauer Hütte. Das ist der zeitlich kürzere und weniger anstrengende Weg als über die Seekarscharte.

Deze 9-daagse tocht doorkruist van noordwest naar zuidoost het hart van de Oostenrijkse Alpen. De tocht verbindt twee bekende gletsjergebieden van het Nationale Park Hohe Tauern met elkaar. 

Salewa tour tip: Very impressive climbing/high tour with a perfect mix of climbing, glacier contact and ridge walking.

Landschaftlich sehr schöne Hochtour auf den Großer Geiger 3360m mit grandiosem Ausblick über die Hohen Tauern und den Großvenediger.
