This rewarding summit tour offers a fantastic view on the Rieserfernergruppe/Vedrette di Ries mountain range high above the valley basin of Brunico.

The Knieberg juts out a little from the Carnic Ridge extending south-eastwards from the peak of the Helm, offering outstanding views both of the Sexten Dolomites to the south-east and down into the Cadore-Piavetal valley. This trail still bears many traces of the First World War.

A high mountain climb across the glacier and over the rocks

This two-day trip is recommended only for those with a head for heights (not for sufferers of vertigo), sure-footed, sturdy climbers with experience in glacier and rock-climbing. Under no circumstances should anyone attempt to climb the flat Schwarzwandscharte wind gap without ropes. Right from the outset there are hidden crevasses under the snow, some of which run in the direction of travel. Some sections of the Wilder Pfaff are rated II on the Difficulty Level Scale (UIAA). The gap below the Zuckerhütl summit is very steep and at times smooth and slippery (note: ice axes and crampons are essential). An experienced guide is highly advisable on this high mountain hiking adventure.

A certain measure of sure-footedness and a good head for heights is needed for this Alpine tour. Below the ridge, there are a few uncomfortable passages on the craggy trail. Between the ridge and the peak, the terrain is steep and somewhat exposed. However, the well-trodden trail is well constructed everywhere where possible. The return trail between the ridge and the peak is on the Sarntal valley side. From the peak, magnificent panoramic views can be enjoyed.

Starting from the parking lot behind the Timmelsbrücke bridge on the right-hand side of the road, head north into the main valley as far as the Timmelsalm mountain pasture (30). From there, cross the bridge and continue in a north-easterly direction on the left-hand side of the valley until you reach Unterkrumpwasser (an open plateau, traversed by the meandering Passer river). Remain on the left side of the high valley and proceed further northeast. Then follow the steep path up and over the hill, revealing the Schwarzsee lake (30) beyond. 

 

Continue northeast along the western shoreline of the Großer Schwarzsee lake, across the grassland as far as the Schwarzwandscharte ridge, to the start of the glacier (30). Then, follow the narrow but negotiable trail southeast over a rocky ridge up to the Hofmannspitze summit.
