All mountain peak tours

From Wiesen/Prati in the Pfitschertal valley to Luttach/Lutago in the Ahrntal valley

In the north of South Tyrol, more precisely, starting from Vipiteno-Sterzing to the Ahrntal valley in the North - the well-known group of the Zillertal Alps stretches along the state border with Austria.


The mountain tour is classified as moderately difficult and offers unforgettable moments. Sure-footedness, good physical condition, experience and good equipment are required.

In order to climb the summit of king Ortles at 3905m, you should stay the day before at the Julius-Payer hut (3.029m). After spending the night at the hut, you will climb up to the "Wandl", which is probably the technically most difficult part of the entire ascent. Now we cross the somewhat steep traverse at the upper end of the "Eisrinne", which has meanwhile become outdated in the upper section and which leads us over the "Bärenloch" up to "Tschierfegg" where the biv. Lombardi is located. This section has become more difficult in recent years due to the severe glacier retreat and you have to overcome a challenging ramp. The "Tschierfegg" is immediately followed by crevasse-rich terrain and a rather steep slope. Above we reach the gentle Ortler plateau where the ascent to the summit is moderate.

The lucrative peak tour on the Angelo Grande/Hohe Angelus (3,530 m) starts from the Serristori Alpine hut. The high mountain tour with via ferrata (B/C) is moderately difficult and practically free of ice, and provides mountain climbers with a wonderful panoramic view. 

Long, very worthwhile and panoramic circular hike in alpine terrain during which you round the Zwölferkreuz peak. And the variant directly takes you to the peak!
